Lyrics

WHAT COULD’VE BEEN
Terrence Hart

[VERSE]
Radio on, before the sunlight’s glowin’
Coffee brews, while the house is sleepin’
She hums a tune from the life she knew
Way back when lights felt brand new

[PRE-CHORUS]
She waits in the rain for the mornin’ bus
As the cold wind blows, she won’t fuss
Dressed to kill and her hair pulled tight
Fakes a smile and walks toward the light

[CHORUS]
What could’ve been if I kept on singin’
Up on a stage in a little white dress
What could’ve been if I kept on dancin’
High on dreams like a little princess
What could’ve been if I kept on believin’
But I’m not that strong I must confess
What could’ve been if I kept on runnin’
What could’ve been…

[VERSE]
She’s livin’ her life like it ain’t her own
Caught in dream far away from home
Little white lies under a slammin’ door
Worn-out dreams on the kitchen floor

[PRE-CHORUS]
She’s ridin’ along with a heavy heart
Countin’ the years, and worlds apart
Yet every night, when the lights go dim
She comes back home and starts again

[CHORUS]
What could’ve been if I kept on singin’
Up on a stage in a little white dress
What could’ve been if I kept on dancin’
High on dreams like a little princess
What could’ve been if I kept on believin’
But I’m not that strong I must confess
What could’ve been if I kept on runnin’

[CHORUS]
What could’ve been if I kept on singin’
Up on a stage in a little white dress
What could’ve been if I kept on dancin’
High on dreams like a little princess
What could’ve been if I kept on believin’
But I’m not that strong I must confess
What could’ve been if I kept on runnin’
What could’ve been…

[OUTRO]
Radio on and the sun is shinin’
Make-up on, it’s a new beginnin’…
