What Could Have Been

Hind sight is 20/20 and 90% of regrets come from what you thought you wanted . . .

If I knew then what I know now

I might have let him stay

I might have given that second chance

And I might have pushed the others away

I would've taken the rejected offers

And not been so quick to love

I would have cherished every moment

And not condemned the ones I judged

 

If I knew then what I know now

I might have left it at a kiss

I would have answered the phone

And spent time with those I missed

So many lies I'd left untold

And excuses I'd never made

Would have been willing to take the risks

Walked away and not have stayed

 

If I knew then what I know now

Whispered promises in the dark

Learned to learn from my regrets

Learned to love with a broken heart

But there would still have been this moment

Looking back to who I was then

With forever the cause to wonder

Just what could have been
