It Could Have Been So Good

you didn't try, you didn't want it to work
you didn't give it a chance, you didn't want to succeed
you could have laughed, you could have reached for a dream
you could have played with the stars, but you rejected it all

if you had stayed you might have found something good
you might have flown to the sky, you might have known paradise
you had it all, and you just threw it away
but if you had stayed with me, here in my arms
I promise you you would have found the reasons why you'd want to stay

it could have been so good ...

I bet right now you're regretting
the wrong decision you took
that there's no way of forgetting

you went away to look for somebody else
you didn't stop to reflect you had it all on a plate
if you had paused to know what treasure you had
you could have not failed to see its real value and worth
you had it all, and you just threw it away
but if you had stayed with me, here in my arms
I promise you you would have found the reasons why you'd want to stay

it could have been so good ...
