(Mine)
After all these years of trying
You think I would have a clue
But all that I've been looking for is you
Yeah
And I always have the words to say
But with you I can hardly speak
I miss my tears and you're moving on
To someone else not me
Now my memories are haunting me
If I had said what I felt inside
You could've been mine
You could've been
Could've been
Could've been
Should have been mine
And I know that I'm not perfect
'Cause I can never read your mind
You can never call me Superman
I just wish I could turn back time
Woah
And you see me hurting
And you just watch me burn
If my life was a movie
Then I would get the girl
Now my memories are hunting me
If I had said what I felt inside
You could've been mine
You could've been
Could've been
Could've been
Should have been mine
(Could've been)
(Could've been mine)
You should've been mine
(Could've been)
(Should've been mine)
You should've been mine
(Could've been)
(Could've been mine)
You should've been
You could've been
Could've been mine
And I'm trying to move on from the long gone
But you keep coming back, coming back
It just keeps playing back like a rerun
I can't get you out of my head
Uuuuuh
If I had said what I felt inside...
You would've been mine
You would've been
You could've been
Should've been mine
Mine, mine...
You could've been
You could've been
You could've been mine
(Mine)
