What Should Have Been

Had I known, for any length of time

I would've told you no

I would've changed your mind and made you sure

I would've made you feel like you were loved and more

I wish you'd said

So I could take those horrid thoughts out of your head

I would've saved us both some awful bad regret

I should've had you my friend, for years yet

I can't bear, to let you down again

And know it's for the last time,

For the last time

I can't see, cause the air you'd have breathed has swallowed me

Fall back to now,

I still expect to have you here when I turn around

I still long to hear your voice but there's no sound

In my mind I'm searching reasons, they go round

Round and round

And as for me, all I see is your face when I try and sleep

Kept awake by all the memories I won't keep

Wondering why you took away what should have been

Chorus

Once, twice, captured everyone

Every blink, every tear under this stone cold sun

Was it you? Was it me?

Is a question asked by everyone but you know

It's too late now

It's too late now

I wish you were home, but you're not

I wish you were mind, but you're gone

Ooh

But you're gone

I can't bear, I let you down my friend

For the last time, for the last time

And I can't breathe, cause the world you've have seen

Has captured me

Ooh, has captured me

Ooh

I wish you were home,

I wish you weren't gone.
