Could've Been Lyrics

I try to run, I try to hide

Theres nowhere to go when the feeling's inside

You broke me down, made me feel small

How do I live when my soul still feels it all

Things could've been different, could've been great

Might have been happy, not filled with the hate

I'm not perfect, but neither are you

I don't hate you, just the things that you do

I remember the good times, the laughter and the fun

Those memories are warped by the things you have done

You wore a mask so well, I couldn't see the truth

Now I'm left with scars, from all the abuse

Things could've been different, could've been great

Might have been happy, not filled with the hate

I'm not perfect, but neither are you

I don't hate you, just the things that you do

What hurts me worst is who you could have been

If the happy times were more than now and then

You stumbled a little, then let yourself fall

Left everyone's hearts to deal with it all

Things could've been different, could've been great

Might have been happy, not filled with the hate

I'm not perfect, but neither are you

I don't hate you, just the things that you do

Looking back now, maybe it was me

Letting my imagination create what could be

Time showed me your colors, so true

I don't hate you, just the things that you do
