What should have been
Turned into a never was
I just held on tightly
As it crumbled into dust
What should have been
Was just a thought in my head
I couldn’t see the truth
Until my heart was torn to shreds
What should have been
Is just what I wanted it to be
But what really was
Has brought me down on my knees
I tasted the rain
As it fell down on my face
I turned to the wind
And expected your embrace
What should have been
Was something out of my control
It was left up to you
To protect my heart and soul
What should have been
Turned into something hurting me
But you couldn’t see
The feelings I was hiding way down deep
What should have been
In the end was my mistake
To believe I could be more
Than just another nameless face
I tasted your lips
And I was locked into your soul
Now I’m laying broken
For the one I long to hold
What should have been
Should have been some time ago
But that time is passing
And the winds are growing cold
What should have been
Was a dream lost in vain
What should I have done
To win the heart causing me pain
What should have been
Turned into a never was
One day I’ll be a memory
But forgotten of my love
I tasted the passions
As they burned from you to me
What made it change
From should have been to fantasy
