I just love that look in your face
And making every life, your beautiful life
He's hurt you once again
He's leaving you and then
You're crying your hearts to an old friend

As I am now holding you
Trying hard to stop myself
From telling you
That I'm dying inside
That I'm trying to hide
All the feelings that I have for you

Could have been the once to love you
I could have been the one to hold you tight
Be the one to make you see brighter days
Through those lonely nights
I know that you can never really understand
What I'm feeling inside
All I want is for you to know
That I could have been the one

Oh and I cannot believe
That we can never be more than just friends
For in my heart I know that you and I
Will be together in the end, in the end

I could have been the one to love you
Could have been the one to hold you tight
Be the one to make you see brighter days
Through those lonely nights
I know that you can never really understand
What I'm feeling inside
All I want is for you to know

I could have been the one to love you
Could have been the one to hold you tight
Be the one to make you see brighter days
Through those lonely nights
I know that you can never really understand
What I'm feeling inside
All I want is for you to know
That I could have been the one
I could have been the one
