We Could Have Been lyrics - Eric Benet

Tell me who's to blame

I thought that we were on our way

I never dreamed in all my life

That love could feel that way

Did we move too slow or was it just too son?

But there I go

Looking back once more

Like a fool I still imagine

What we could have been

Could it be we had a chance,

If we just tried again?

It's the hardest thing to face

It's like never knowing how the story ever ends

And I'll never know just what we could have been

So I'll just say it's meant to be

And this is fate and destiny

But tell me how do I explain,

This empty part in me?

Though I rate these words

I know I'll carry on

But I love you still

Probably always will

Nothing could ever be so beautiful

As we could have been

If only love had let you back into my arms again

It's the hardest thing to know

That I will never love again like we did then

And to never know just what we could have been

There may be another chance

In some other space or time

Some other circumstance

But would it feel the same?

Oh how wonderful this world would be

To face it with you here with me

Only heaven knows, maybe there we'll see

Oh, what we could have been

Could it be there was a chance,

If we just tried again?

It's the hardest thing

It's like never knowing how the story's going to end

And we'll never know just what we, oh, what we could have been, baby

Oh, if love could have led back to my arms again

It's the hardest thing to know

That I will never love again like we did then

Oh no, never again

And to never know just what we could have been

Oh...
