Shoulda Woulda Coulda lyrics

Lyrics

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown

How I wish i, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
Something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

Chorus

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong i.

Chorus (x2)
