Could’ve Been You
[Verse 1]
I said "I love you" to a stranger
Someone I didn't know, I didn't know
You got a thing for sippin' danger
And you take it with you everywhere you go
I know I fell fast, I know I fell hard
I know it felt good until it fell apart
I got my things and you got a new man
Been talkin' to myself, I understand that
[Chorus]
I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you (You)
Fuckin' up all of my plans
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
Want me to want you back, but I can't
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house, yeah, and out of my head
It's true (Ooh)
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could'vе been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yеah, yeah-yeah)
[Verse 2]
Somebody's gonna show up here someday
Make me forget I ever knew your name
They'll get the best of me
And I'll be in such a better place
You could've been the one in the frame
You could've been the one to break the chain
You could've been the one, but too late
I'm countin' my stars
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you (You)
Fuckin' up all of my plans
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
Want me to want you back, but I can't
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house, yeah, out of my head
It's true (Ooh)
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
Wasted dreams on wasted words
I loved them when I heard 'em
But I knew it wasn't true
Lucky me 'cause it could've been you
Yikes
[Chorus]
'Cause it could've been you (Ooh)
Fuckin' up all of my plans
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
Want me to want you back, but I can't
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house, yeah, out of my head
It's true (Ooh)
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
I know I'm lucky, yeah, I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Could've been you, no, no)
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
