We could
have flown with the eagles
We could have dined with the angels
We could have redefined love and rewritten it with our names
We could have created the stars together
We could have been inseparable
We could have been totally remarkable together
We could have been the envy of every soul
We could have been one masterpiece
We could have been important to each other
We could have been what we failed to become to each other when time still approved us
Now we no longer can be what we were destined to be
We let slip an era that could have recreated our lives
Cluttered with wishful thoughts of what is now against time
Drowning in moments lost
Wounded by words unsaid
Suffocating in sentiments unshared
Who are we to think we can now reverse fate?
We could have dined with the angels
We could have redefined love and rewritten it with our names
We could have created the stars together
We could have been inseparable
We could have been totally remarkable together
We could have been the envy of every soul
We could have been one masterpiece
We could have been important to each other
We could have been what we failed to become to each other when time still approved us
Now we no longer can be what we were destined to be
We let slip an era that could have recreated our lives
Cluttered with wishful thoughts of what is now against time
Drowning in moments lost
Wounded by words unsaid
Suffocating in sentiments unshared
Who are we to think we can now reverse fate?
