Could, Couldn't

I could hold your hand walk side by side I could laugh at your jokes never had to hide. We could dance in the rain let the world fade away I could look in your eyes and feel okay. But I couldn't stop the time couldn't change our fate Couldn't make you stay when it was too late. I could love you hard but not fix what was broken Now I'm left with words we never have spoken. I couldn't see the signs couldn't read your mind I couldn't give you more though I always tried. We couldn't find our way lost in the haze I couldn't keep the light in those final days. But I couldn't stop the time couldn't change our fate Couldn't make you stay when it was too late. I could love you hard but not fix what was broken Now I'm left with words we never have spoken. I could remember the good let go of the pain But I couldn't erase the tears in the rain. I could grow from this heartache carry the scar But I couldn't forget who we were who we are. I could walk away but the memories stay I couldn't let go of what slipped away. Could we have been more? I'll never know But I couldn't regret loving you even so. I could walk away but the memories stay I couldn't let go of what slipped away. Could we have been more? I'll never know But I couldn't regret loving you even so.
