She Could'Ve Had Love

Grew up in a sheltered home
Quiet and alone

Tales of immortality
Wasting days she breathed

Livin’ for tomorrow
Never for today

Should’ve seen it comin’ 
but she wasn’t taught to see

grew up in a sheltered home
quiet and alone

should’ve seen it comin’
but she wasn’t taught to see

grew up in a sheltered home
quiet and alone

tales of immortality
wasting days she breathed

her eyes are open
her eyes are open
her eyes are open
She can finally see

her eyes are open
her eyes are open
her eyes are open

She could’ve had love

could’ve had love
could've had love
but she didn’t
no she didn’t

grew up in a sheltered home
quiet and alone
 
tales of immortality
wasting days she breathed

livin’ for tomorrow
never for today

should’ve seen it comin’ 
but she wasn’t taught to see

her eyes are open
her eyes are open
her eyes are open
She can finally see

eyes are open
eyes are open
eyes are open

she could've had love

could’ve had love
could’ve had love

but she didn’t 
no she didn’t

she could've had love

could’ve had love
could’ve had love

but she didn’t 
no she didn’t

grew up in a sheltered home
quiet and alone

tales of immortality
wasting days she breathed

livin’ for tomorrow 
never for today

should’ve seen it coming 
but she wasn’t taught to see
no 
no she wasn’t taught to see

(instrumental)

She could’ve had love

could’ve had love
could’ve had love
But she didn’t
No she didn’t

could’ve had love
could’ve had love
could’ve had love
but she didn’t
no she didn’t
you didn’t
You didn’t let her speak.
