Could’ve Been

I said be honest. what do you feel?

but the question never left my throat.

sometimes i wish you could hear,

what i say to you, when i imagine you’re next to me in bed.

when i realize what it is they do to you.

You live so far from the truth.

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.

 

now you ask me what i feel?

and i brush the question from your lips if i could.

but you don’t feel me here, cause you’re so over there.

i miss you when your eyes leave me,

and somewhere your heaven of isolation treats you well.

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.

 

is it a waste?

am i a bother?

is this a circle?

 

that could’ve been the last time

i ever looked in your eyes

it could’ve been the last time

i ever saw the sun.

that could’ve been the last time

i ever took a breath

it could’ve been the last time

i ever knew what you meant.

it could’ve been the last time

that everything seemed worth it.
