What Could Have Been Lyrics

I saw you each morning on the same crowded train

A simple nod as we found our seats again

Two strangers, a glance, a spark in the air

Sharing moments we both knew were there

What could have been, if I'd said hello

If I'd found the courage to let you know

Oh, what could have been, just one word away

But we let it fade with each passing day

Oh, what could have been

Oh, what could have been

I watched your reflection in the glass as I'd ride

Did I have a chance? I couldn't decide

I wanted to speak, but my words felt too small

So I stayed silent, and said nothing at all

What could have been, if I'd said hello

If I'd found the courage to let you know

Oh, what could have been, just one word away

But we let it fade with each passing day

Oh, what could have been

Oh, what could have been

Now when the train pulls in, and you're not there

Just an empty seat, a thought I cannot bear

My heart starts pounding, and the world spins

All I'm left with, is what could have been

What could have been, if I'd said hello

If I'd found the courage to let you know

Oh, what could have been, just one word away

But we let it fade with each passing day

Oh, what could have been, if I'd said hello

If I'd found the courage to let you know

Oh, what could have been, just one word away

But we let it fade with each passing day

Oh, what could have been

Oh, what could have been

Maybe someday, in another life

I'll see you and finally do it right

But here and now, my hopes are thin

A quiet goodbye to what could have been

Oh, what could have been

Oh, what could have been
