We embrace
Tears on your face
Saying farewell
You get on the plane

What could have been
What could have been
If you hadn’t had to leave
But all your hope and your dreams
They led you far away
So you left me here
Not able to move on again

On the news, I see the words
That torn my world apart
The tears on my face
Floating in empty space

What could have been
What could have been
If you had only stayed
But all this hope and all my dreams
Staring at the sky in vain
Yet again finding me here
Not able to move on again

It’s been five years
Yet I still feel the same
Losing your love,
yet remembering your name.

What could have been
What could have been
If you had seen the truth
That all your hopes and dreams
Could be found in me
Yet you left and here I am
Mourning over your grave
