Love Song

 

As time is ticking by 

I am lost in the thought that I can’t hide 

From the truth tonight 

That I still feel the pain I’m up against 

Let me count the ways 

In the haze of my mind 

It’s all you left behind 

 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we held on tight when it all went wrong 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we hadn’t learned how to fight every night 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

Are all that’s left of you and me 

We could’ve been, could’ve been a love song 

 

And it’s too late to call you up and call you out 

On the promises you gave 

They’re empty now like the home we made 

But I didn’t know what I didn’t know 

Too proud to let it go 

But now I know I’ve gotta turn the page 

And hope those memories fade 

 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we held on tight when it all went wrong 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we hadn’t learned how to fight every night 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

Are all that’s left of you and me 

We could’ve been, could’ve been a love song 

 

On and on and on this story goes 

I’m gonna have to do this on my own 

But this moving on is hard as hell 

 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we held on tight when it all went wrong 

Could’ve been a love song 

If we hadn’t learned how to fight every night 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

Are all that’s left of you and me 

We could’ve been, could’ve been a love song 

Now we’ll never be a love song
