What Could Have Been
Unfulfilled Dreams: Sound Bloom's Reflection on Lost Love
Lyrics
Crawl outta my fear to see you
Crawling out of fear to confront you
No longer gonna be the man you see through
No longer willing to be seen as a transparent person
Can't bear to be outside
Unable to endure being outside
Then through the pane I see a light
Seeing a glimmer of hope through a window
I hear footsteps walk my way
Hearing someone approaching
Can't wait to be next to the fireplace
Eagerly anticipating being close to a comforting place (fireplace)
Then you walked away
You walked away
I should have known
Regretting not realizing earlier
Oh how I have reaped what I have sown
Facing consequences for past actions
Though I won't ever let it show
Suppressing emotions despite inner turmoil
I can't help but think about
Reflecting on a specific situation
Can't help but think about
Repeated emphasis on contemplating the past
What could have been
Pondering what might have been
Can't say I never tried
Acknowledging effort
Can't say I never cried
Admitting to experiencing sadness
I can't help but think about
Continuing to dwell on missed opportunities
Can't help but think about
Reiterating thoughts about alternate outcomes
What could have been
Reflecting on what might have been
I stand in disbelief
Expressing disbelief at a harsh reality
At this cold reality
Perceiving the current situation as emotionally cold
My head hangs so low
Feeling deeply saddened
Why all my love did you forgo
Questioning why love was neglected
Oh why did I have to wait so long
Regretting a delayed realization
I just didn't know that it'd turn out all wrong
Unaware of the negative outcome due to delayed action
Now I sing this song
Expressing emotions through song
Oh how I have reaped what I have sown
Confronting consequences for past actions
Though I won't ever let it show
Internalizing pain and not showing it outwardly
I can't help but think about
Reflecting on a specific situation (repeated)
Can't help but think about
Repeated emphasis on contemplating the past
What could have been
Pondering what might have been
Can't say I never tried
Acknowledging effort (repeated)
Can't say I never cried
Admitting to experiencing sadness (repeated)
I can't help but think about
Continuing to dwell on missed opportunities (repeated)
Can't help but think about
Reiterating thoughts about alternate outcomes (repeated)
What could have been
Reflecting on what might have been (repeated)
What could have been
Repetition of the contemplation of missed opportunities
What could have been
-What could have been
-Can't say I never tried
Acknowledging effort (repeated)
Can't say I never cried
Admitting to experiencing sadness (repeated)
I can't help but think about
Continuing to dwell on missed opportunities (repeated)
Can't help but think about
Reiterating thoughts about alternate outcomes (repeated)
What could have been
Reflecting on what might have been (repeated)
