[Verse 1:]
I thought I knew it all, I was so greedy and dumb
How could I just fuckin' split not see that you were the one
You should have stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity
I was a damn fool, I thought my posse would last
I didn't want what you offered and now I need it so bad
You should of stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity
I was a big shot, the one with all the power
It all went sour because I was a fuckin' coward
You should of stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity

[Hook:]
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away

[Verse 2:]
I tried to stop you, life’s about more than just money
And when we went broke, no joke them days were not sunny
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
You were a gangsta, you belonged to the night
You would vanish from sight, I never knew when you might
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
And now I’m takin three kids five, seven, and two
But I still have that necklace and I still think of you
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
[Hook:]
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It’s so far away
