you could've loved me

you could've loved me

but i did it all wrong

running around

taking my time

taking too long

you were an anchor

i was wild and free

but you could've loved me

now it's crazy to see you wearing that ring

we could've been young and dumb and restless

could've been everything

you had your reasons

i had my dreams

but you could've loved me

sometimes love falls in your hands

sometimes love has other plans

sometimes good good things just get away from us

i'd be lying if i said i didn't have any regrets

i just know it has to be this way because

i'm still exactly who i was

but you could've loved me

if it happened just right

but we rise and we fall and we can't win them all

cause that's just life

it ain't like the stories you see in the movies

but you could've loved me

sometimes love falls in your hands

sometimes love has other plans

sometimes good good things just get away from us

i'd be lying if i said i didn't have any regrets

i just know it has to be this way because

i'm still exactly who i was

but you could've loved me

if i could've stayed

but the world kept pulling me out of this town

and it's better that way

cause i'm still a dreamer

wild and free

but you could've loved me
