It's hard to believe, we weren't meant to be
And all good things end eventually
But here I am walking away
And you're down on your knees begging me please baby stay

Well, no one can do 'cause boy you were untrue
The only rule there's no exception to
Three's a crowd so where does that leave you now
That's what you get for living loud, remember

Coulda been right, coulda been cool
Coulda been the best thing since high school
Coulda been right, coulda been free
Coulda been everything to me

Coulda been real, coulda been hot
Coulda been the one who hits my spot
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been

I use to think, I couldn't live without us together
But boy look at me now
I got my hopes, my whole life and all my dreams
So as you wave goodbye to me, just remember

Coulda been right, coulda been cool
Coulda been the best thing since high school
Coulda been right, coulda been free
Coulda been everything to me

Coulda been real, coulda been hot
Coulda been the one who hits my spot
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been

Someday you'll see me walking down the street
Looking all competent and complete
Wondering if you made a mistake, throw it away too soon
I'll wave and blow you a kiss and say

It's cool running into you like this
How you doing? How many kids?
Do you ever look back
And wish that you could turn?

Turn back time and make me change my mind
But you didn't so lets get on with letting go
Almost doesn't count you know
So remember, so remember

Coulda been right, coulda been cool
Coulda been the best thing since high school
Coulda been right, coulda been free
Coulda been everything

Coulda been real, coulda been hot
Coulda been the one who hits my spot
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been

Coulda been right, coulda been cool
Coulda been the best thing since high school
Coulda been right, coulda been free
Coulda been everything

Coulda been real, coulda been hot
Coulda been the one who hits my spot
But you're not and all you got is something
But you're not and all you got is something
But you're not and all you got is something that coulda been
