[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(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)
