Could've Had It
Love's Peril: A Tale of Unfulfilled Promises
Lyrics
While I have the chance to speak
Expressing the opportunity to communicate.
I’d like to say, we
Indicating a desire to convey a message.
Could’ve had it all
Reflecting on missed potential for a successful relationship.
But I fall too easy baby I fall too easy
Admitting a tendency to fall in love easily, possibly contributing to the relationship's failure.
It’s no wonder you’re leaving at all
Suggesting that the partner's departure is not surprising given the speaker's tendencies.
Could’ve had it all
Reiterating the potential for a successful relationship that was not realized.
But I fall too east baby I fall too easy
Repeating the theme of falling too easily, acknowledging its impact on the relationship.
It’s no wonder you’re leaving at all
Reiterating that the partner leaving is expected due to the speaker's behavior.
If I only I could be the kind of girl
Expressing a desire to meet the partner's expectations.
That you expected me to be
Acknowledging the difficulty of meeting those expectations.
To love from such a distance
Describing the emotional pain of loving from a distance.
Is unbearable to me
Expressing the unbearable nature of distant love.
I’ll follow you into your darkest corners
Declaring a willingness to explore the partner's darker aspects or secrets.
May I see or no
Seeking permission to witness those hidden aspects.
With hands around my neck
Describing an intimate moment with the partner, involving physical closeness.
You kiss me hard

And make it harder to let go

I know what role to play

You’re making me put on a show
Indicating the partner's influence on the speaker's behavior, turning it into a show.
I wish that I could run

But you’re the only thing I know
Admitting that the partner is the only familiar and constant aspect in the speaker's life.
