[Intro: H.E.R.]
Please, allow me to show you something
Mmm, somebody give me, yeah

[Verse 1: H.E.R., with 6LACK]
Somebody give me, uh
Somebody tell me the answers
Me and you isn't the answer (Uh)
Me and you isn’t (No)
Maybe I'm tellin' myself that
But there ain’t nothin' that'll change that
What good would it be if I knew how you felt about me? (Yeah)
It could've been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared inside is gone
And I know that I can't get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R. & 6LACK, H.E.R., 6LACK]
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
We don’t dream about, don’t think about what
We could've been
Though I’m holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been (Yeah, yeah)
We could've been (Yeah, yeah)
We could’ve (Yeah, damn, yeah, uh)
[Verse 2: 6LACK]
Contemplatin', overthinkin'
Like maybe if I did it different I wouldn't be here, we know that's a lie
It's crystal as clear, I mean clearer than crystal
Told me to call so I hit you (Brr)
I pull up, I iron out your issues
He act like he miss you (Woo), I actually miss you
What is the, what is the, what is the issue, ayy?
See we could've been
A little more than another fling for the book, summertime in Atlanta
No I cannot forget when you looked in the camera
Say she can't fuck with no Cancer, then put my heart up for ransom
You out here lookin' for answers, I'm still out here tryin' my chances, girl

[Chorus: H.E.R. & 6LACK, H.E.R., 6LACK]
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
We could've been
Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been, we could've been
We could've, we could've been
What we could've been, we could've been
Oh yeah, yeah, we could've been
[Outro: H.E.R.]
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
But now things are strange, nothing's the same
And really I just want my friend back, yeah, ayy
Oh, oh, oh
Can't get you out of my system (Oh, yeah, ayy-ayy)
We could've been, we could've been
We could've been, damn
What we could've been (We), we could've been (We)
We, we, yeah, ayy, we
Damn, damn, could've been, yeah
We could've been, no-no, no
