Could've Been
Unveiling Heartbreak: Jessica Xaviera's 'Could've Been' Revelations
Lyrics
Was looking at your pictures on my phone
Reflecting on pictures of the person on the phone
And tears come running down my eyes
Tears flow, expressing emotional pain
Knowing that all these times we were together
Realization that during their time together, the person was involved with someone else
You were playing with her too
Acknowledging the partner's infidelity
I should've known better
Recognizing a personal mistake in trusting the partner
But I guess I was just another joke to you
Feeling like a joke or not taken seriously by the partner
You know we could've been so good together
Expressing a missed opportunity for a good relationship
Is it just in my head?
Questioning if the missed opportunity is a figment of imagination
You said you're mine
Recalling the partner's claim of exclusivity
But you're in her arms
Realizing the partner is with someone else
And every time I cried
Linking the partner's actions to personal emotional distress
I thought we
Interrupted thought, possibly incomplete
Could've been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and what could have been
Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
Laughing at oneself for being foolish; realizing the partner's lack of commitment
Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Just listened to the songs you wrote about me
-Now I'm laughing in my head
-Thinking boy I was a fool
Understanding the partner's desire for pleasure rather than a lasting connection
You didn't want forever
Acceptance of the partner's compatibility with someone else
Only want me for your pleasure
-Guess you both deserve each other
-You said you're mine
Recalling the partner's claim of exclusivity (repeated)
But you're in her arms
Realizing the partner is physically with someone else (repeated)
And every time I cried
Linking the partner's actions to personal emotional distress (repeated)
I thought we
Repetition of thoughts on missed opportunities and what could have been
Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-(And every time I cried I thought we)
Continued repetition, emphasizing the emotional impact of the situation
Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-(And every time I cried I thought we)
Recalling the partner's claim of exclusivity (repeated)
Could've been
Final repetition, underlining the persistent emotional distress
Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-Could've been
-Would've been
-Should've been
-We
-And every time I cried I thought we
