There was someone I used to love a long, long time ago
He found someone before I had a chance to let him know
And every time I tried to get my heart to close that door
I'd think about what could have been and only love him more

I told a friend how sad I was, the fate was so unfair
This prefect love that could have been, my heart would never share
And not 'til summer came and went did her advice ring true
When I found out my heart was meant to fall in love with you

We never know what could have been
But looking back we see
What could have been and never was
Was never meant to be.

I saw the one I used to love when I went out today
I said 'hello', I met his wife, then I was on my way
It may be luck, it may be fate, it may be God's design
I only know it's no mistake I'm yours and you are mine

We never know what could have been?
But looking back we see
What could have been and never was
Was never meant to be
