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.
