It Could Have Been Better

You won't see me cryin' anymore And don't think because I mention your name I still love you But it could have been so so much better How could we know at the time That is could have been so so much better It's so easy to look back and say That things could be so much better If I had you today Now what if we'd believed each other's lies And just suppose you'd tried holding me closer Once or twice Then it could have been so so much better How could we know at the time That is could have been so so much better It's so easy to look back and say That things could be so much better If I had you today The all night movies are my only company And love's so clear in black and white Somebody's wrong and somebody's always right Another happy ending and I'm still all alone And I wonder if it could have been so much better
