What Might Have Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are just like the waves of the ocean
Swift and salty, crash on my skin
If I dare drift the rip of your tongue
I may well float away dead
And I, I want to be near you
And I don't know if I can
My sweet love, don't leave me wanting
Forever taunting me with what might have been
You are just like the spice of tobacco
On my lips, the cardinal sin
You're no good for me, still I proceed
Damned for the taste of you darlin'
And I, I want to be near you
And I don't know if I can
My sweet love, don't leave me wanting
Forever taunting me with what might have been
I am just like the love you've imagined
To my grave I promise to hold
If you only you let me, help me forget these
Troubles that make up our road, oh
But I, I want to be near you
And I don't know know if can
My sweet love, don't leave me wanting
Forever taunting me with what might have been
Oh, my sweet love, don't leave me wanting
Forever taunting me with what might have been
