It Could Have Been Love

this could have been love
this could have been love
but you never see me as i am
this thing called love, you never want to believe

this should have been love
this should have been love
but you keep on playing to pretend
which thing of love, you don't understand

you do it again
you do it again today
just stop pretending
why don't you find your own way

it's a beautiful life
why do you have to ruin this thing
this thing called love, 
you just hate it anyway

such a fool for me
such a fool for me
why do i have to be with someone like you
but now i'm free to decide, without you

just go away from me
go away from here

this could have been love
this could have been love
but you never see me as i am
this thing called love, you never want to believe

this should have been love
this should have been love
but you keep on playing to pretend
which thing of love, you don't understand
