Could Have Been Us
Fading Echoes of Love: Gareth Fernandez's 'Could Have Been Us' Reflections
Lyrics
I regret all the things that I said and I've done
I feel remorse for the things I said and did in the past
And I'm sorry we started a fire
I apologize for the conflict or problems we caused
My head's in the right place and my heart's at your door
I am emotionally and mentally prepared for a relationship, and my feelings are directed towards you
And I know we've been through this before
We've experienced similar situations before
But it's not the same now you're gone
Things have changed now that you are no longer part of my life
Now you're gone
Reiteration of the impact of your absence
I'm caught in the middle of a love I lost and the rest of my life
I'm stuck between the pain of lost love and the uncertainty of the future
Now you're gone
Repetition of the emotional state after the person is gone
I'm dying a little, now you're gone, now you're gone and
Expressing the emotional struggle and pain after the person's departure
Could've been us
Reflecting on a missed opportunity for a relationship
But we're far too brittle just one touch and we fall apart
We were too fragile, and a single touch could break us apart
Could've been us but we're both so fickle
Both individuals were unpredictable and unstable
Could've been us, could've been us yeah
Reaffirmation of the potential for a relationship
I thought we decided that we're done with the hurt
Agreement to end the emotional pain
And we just can't keep going in circles
We shouldn't continue repeating the same mistakes
I swear I meant it when I gave you my word
A promise was made but may no longer hold true
But I don't think it's true anymore
Doubt about the sincerity of the promise after the person's departure
And it's not the same now that you're gone
Highlighting the change in dynamics after the person is gone
Now you're gone
Reiteration of the impact of your absence
I'm caught in the middle of a love I lost and the rest of my life
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the emotional turmoil after losing love
Now you're gone
Repetition of the emotional state after the person is gone
I'm dying a little, now you're gone, now you're gone and
Expressing the emotional struggle and pain after the person's departure
Could've been us
Reflecting on a missed opportunity for a relationship
But we're far too brittle just one touch and we fall apart
We were too fragile, and a single touch could break us apart
Could've been us but we're both so fickle
Both individuals were unpredictable and unstable
Could've been us, could've been us yeah
Reaffirmation of the potential for a relationship
Even when your heart's done breaking
Even when the heartache seems to be over
Even then I'm still aching
The pain still lingers
But I would try again
Willingness to give the relationship another try
Anything you ask of me
A promise to fulfill any request from the other person
You'll always be the half of me I can't give up
You will always be an essential part of me
Now you're gone
Reiteration of the impact of your absence
I'm caught in the middle of a love I lost and the rest of my life
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the emotional turmoil after losing love
Now you're gone
Repetition of the emotional state after the person is gone
I'm dying a little, now you're gone, now you're gone and
Expressing the emotional struggle and pain after the person's departure
Could've been us
Reflecting on a missed opportunity for a relationship
But we're far too brittle just one touch and we fall apart
We were too fragile, and a single touch could break us apart
Could've been us but we're both so fickle
Both individuals were unpredictable and unstable
Could've been us, could've been us yeah
Reaffirmation of the potential for a relationship
It could've been us, It could've been us
Repetition of the idea that a relationship could have existed
It could've been us, It could've been us, could've been us
Continued emphasis on the missed opportunity for a relationship
It could've been us, It could've been us, could've been us,
Repetition emphasizing what could have been
It could've been, It could've been
Highlighting the missed potential
It could've been us"
Reiteration of what could have been in the relationship
