[Verse 1]
We are the architects who'll never build
But deep down I think that you knew how I felt
You live in a new city now with a pretty girl
I still walk past your parent's house
And feel my stomach churn
And I look for you in everyone I meet

[Chorus]
We could've been something
But you were too scared what they'd say
Could've been something
But you didn't see me in that way
Could've been something
But I was the risk you'd never take
I guess we'll never be
What I wanted so desperately

[Verse 2]
Gone are the days when I'd walk to your house
Head on your chest and my heart in my mouth
Counting all the plastic stars on the ceiling of your room
Counting all the times that I almost told you

[Chorus]
We could've been something
But you were too scared what they'd say
Could've been something
But you didn't see me in that way
Could've been something
But I was the risk you'd never take
I guess we'll never be
What I wanted
[Bridge]
I wonder if you ever hear my name
Or if I'm a forgotten part at the back of your brain
I wonder if you ever hear my name
Or if I'm a forgotten part at the back of your brain

[Chorus]
We could've been something
But you were too scared what they'd say
Could've been something
But you didn't see me in that way
Could've been something
But I was the risk you'd never take
I guess we'll never be
What I wanted so desperately
