We fall and we're dried up
We suffer and scream
We build walls and tear right down
The base of our dreams

We missed the point of turning by now
After all is said and done
And wait amongst the ruins of love
For the bitter end to come

Oh, it could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a lifetime
It could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a day

We cheat and we're worn-out
We cover and cry
We guess what is right or wrong
But turn a blind eye

We kid ourselves until it's too late
To carve our web of lies
We're heading for the bounce but missed
To pull the ripping line

Oh, it could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a lifetime
It could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a day

Yeah, it could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a lifetime
It could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a day
It could have been good

Oh, it could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a lifetime
It could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a day

Yeah, it could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a lifetime
It could have been good
(It could have been good)
Forever and a day

(It could have been good)
(It could have been good)
(It could have been good)
(It could have been good)
(It could have been good)
