Laura Vinson - Could've Been

Last night I fell asleep in tears
Thinkin if I saw you again it'd be in a couple years
Guess I gotta move on
Stay strong
Like everybody's telling me
But I can't go on
It feels wrong
The could've beens are killing me

I look dumb for waiting
Wishful thinking
Holding on to what was then
I look dumb for blaming
Hoping and praying
To get back to the time when

I was pulling you in
You were holding me tight
I didn't have to worry
Cause it just felt right
Now I'm looking dumb for nothing
Holding on to what could've been something

It's midnight and I'm laying here
Feeling like the earth is caving on my fears
I don't wanna stay long
Go on
The story don't end here
I just wanna live on
Carry on
Like mama's been telling me

I look dumb for wishing
Dreaming and wasting
On the time we never had
I look dumb for wanting
Nothing but something
To keep me from feeling sad

I was pulling you in
You were holding me tight
I didn't have to worry
Cause it just felt right
Now I'm looking dumb for nothing
Holding on to what could've been something

Oh, I hate the could've been this
The could've been thats
So why do I wait for you to come crawling back
Can't sit around forever
But, the could've beens are saying
We should be together

I look dumb for waiting
Wishful thinking
Holding on to what was then
I look dumb for blaming
Hoping and praying
To get back to the time when

I was pulling you in
You were holding me tight
I didn't have to worry
Cause it just felt right
Now I'm looking dumb for nothing
Holding on to what could've been something

Oh, I hate the could've been this
The could've been thats
So why do I wait for you to come crawling back?
Can't sit around forever
But, the could've beens are saying
We should be together
