It could've been us
But it will never be you and I

She's sitting right beside him
With his coat on her shoulders
I'm only passing by so don't mind me
I used to look at her
The same way that he does
Now I'm wondering how this all can be

I'm on my way to city hall
With the papers in my hand
And I can't help thinking that it could've been us

It could've been us
It could've been you and I (could've been you and I)
I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time
You made it seem so easy
Oh so effortless
Not telling me those things your eyes confess
It could've been us
But it will nevеr be you and I

She put the pеn to paper
Like a knife to my neck
Right then and there, I knew I lost the fight
If I had known that she had someone else than me
I would've signed it right away instead

But now I'm on my way to city hall
With the papers in my hand
And I can't help thinking that it could've been us

It could've been us
It could've been you and I (could've been you and I)
I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time
You made it seem so easy
Oh so effortless
Not telling me those things your eyes confess
It could've been us
But it will never be you and I

It could've been us
It could've been you and I (could've been you and I)
I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time
You made it seem so easy
Oh so effortless
Not telling me those things your eyes confess
It could've been us, oh
But it will never be you and I
