I guess it really matters
What I say and what I don't
Could've had you forever
But now I'm watching you go

I never thought
We were running out of time, (time) mnm (time)
And all of those nights
Were the best times of my life, (life) mnm (life)

If only I'd kept you a little bit longer
And told you the truth that you make me feel safer
That I'm ready for more than being friends who are really lovers
Maybe that could've been us

Maybe that could've been us
(Ooh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Ooh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, oh, oh, ooh)

Another look in your eyes
And I know exactly what you're thinkin'
But can I get a rewrite?
Give me one more chance to make this right

I never thought
We were running out of time, (time) mnm (time)
And all of those nights
Were the best times of my life, (life) mnm, ooh

If only I'd kept you a little bit longer
And told you the truth that you make me feel safer
That I'm ready for more than being friends who are really lovers
Maybe that could've been us

I should have known
That you needed me more
Than ever before
Yeah, I should have known
That it was love

Maybe it could've been us (ooh, oh, oh)
Maybe it could've been us (ooh, oh, oh)
Maybe it could've been us (ooh, oh, oh)
Maybe it could've been us (ooh, oh, oh), yeah

If only I'd kept you a little bit longer
And told you the truth that you make me feel safer
That I'm ready for more than being friends who are really lovers
Maybe that could've been us
