(Verse 1)
Waking up with shadows in my mind,
Every sunrise brings the pain so kind.
Thinking back to moments lost in time,
When your laughter danced, and you could've been mine.
(Chorus)
Oh, what might have been, if I took a chance,
If I’d whispered softly, in that fleeting glance,
Now I see you happy, and I feel the sting,
A heart left unspoken, it’s a heavy thing.
(Verse 2)
You wanted me then, but I played it cool,
Thought I’d find the right words, not just act the fool.
Now I’m drowning in dreams of what could have been,
Lost in the echoes, should’ve let you in.
(Chorus)
Oh, what might have been, if I took a chance,
If I’d whispered softly, in that fleeting glance,
Now I see you happy, and I feel the sting,
A heart left unspoken, it’s a heavy thing.
(Bridge)
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I would tell you I love you, make you mine.
But now I watch you walk away,
With every heartbeat, I silently sway.
(Chorus)
Oh, what might have been, if I took a chance,
If I’d whispered softly, in that fleeting glance,
Now I see you happy, and I feel the sting,
A heart left unspoken, it’s a heavy thing.
(Outro)
So here I lay, dreaming every night,
Of a love I lost, of a star that shone bright.
Waking up hurtin’, wishing I’d been bold,
What might have been, now the story’s told.
