What Could've Been Lyrics

I haven't stopped thinking about you
Has it really been this long?
Two years and an ocean between us
And I don't know where it all went wrong

I know I coulda kissed you harder
And yeah, you coulda followed through
Shoulda talked a little bit softer
But we meant every "I love you"

I don't know what this is or what it isn't
But it feels like we've got unfinished business

'Cause we left blood the on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
A bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
Looks like you're on the mend and I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on but I keep coming back again, hmm
To what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
Yeah, what could've been

A couple more simple I'm sorrys
A little less tryna be right
I wonder how many good mornings we wasted 'cause we didn't say goodnight

One touch before we fell asleep
Just before our love was out of reach
Coulda been enough, coulda saved us from this loneliness

'Cause we left blood the on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
A bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
Looks like you're on the mend and I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on but I keep coming back again, hmm
To what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
Whoa-oh

I thought I'd see it clearly from a distance
But it still feels like we've got unfinished business

'Cause baby we'd left
Blood the on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
Bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end, oh
Looks like you're on the mend, I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on but I keep coming back again, oh
To what could've been
Oh, what could've been
Hmm, what could've been
Shoulda been
Do you still wonder?
Still wonder?
What could've been
What could have been (still wonder)
What could have been (still wonder)
What could have been

What is the Meaning of What Could've Been?

This heartfelt melody takes listeners on a journey of regret and longing. The lyrics depict the pain of a love story that ended prematurely, with both parties reflecting on their mistakes and what they could have done differently. The song encapsulates the feeling of yearning for a past relationship, grappling with the 'what ifs' and 'could haves.' It's about two people who still feel connected despite their separation, unable to move forward due to their lingering feelings and unresolved issues. The references to 'unfinished business' suggest that there might still be room for reconciliation or closure. This is a poignant reminder that communication is vital in any relationship, as misunderstandings can lead to unnecessary heartbreak. #UnresolvedLove #RegretAndLonging
