Could've been Snow White
Could've been so right
Couldn't be so beautiful
Couldn't be so light
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Didn't need a thing
Didn't mean a thing
Every day and night
Every day in my life
Every time I get my hopes up, they always seem to fart
OR
Every time I get my hopes up, they always seem too far
Every time I get my hopes up, they always seem to fall
I'll give you all what could've been.
How could I hold what could've been?
I'll never want what could've been on a cold and lonely night
OR
I'll never have what could've been on a cold and lonely night
I'll never hold what could've been on a cold and lonely night
The flowers that you gave me
Are just about to break
The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
The memories of our loving still linger in the air
Like the fainted scent of your roses, they stay with me everywhere
OR
Like the fainted stench of your roses, they stay with me everywhere
The memories of our loving still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses, they stay with me everywhere
You can hug a teddy bear
On a cold and lonely night
You can't hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night
You could've hogged what could've been or You could've owned what could've been
How could I hold what could've been?
On a cold and holy night
On a cold and lonely night
