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
