I could have been a doctor, were not for a degree
I could have been a winner, were not for defeat
I could have been richer, were not for the taxes
I could have been a scholar, were not for classes
I could have been a rebel, were not for a cause
I could have been employed, were not for the boss
I could have been loved, I could have been loved
I could have been loved, I could have been loved
I could have been loved, I could have been loved
I could have been loved, I could have been
We could have been artists, were not for the music
We could have been on time, we're not for excuses
We could have been diamonds, we're not for the penny
We could have been special, we're not for the many
We could have been patient, we're not for the waiting
We could have been committed, we're not for the sting
We could have been loved, we could have been loved
We could have been loved, we could have been loved
We could have been loved, we could have been loved
We could have been loved

I still love your views, look up your interviews
Got me playing detective, searching for some clues
I wanted to take you home, show you where I've grown

You could have been loved, you could have been loved
You could have been loved, you could have been loved
You could have been loved, you could have been loved
You could have been loved, you could have been loved
Thank you.
Thank you.
We swear it not for the last.
