What I Could Have Been
(Kuchenmeister)© 1999 Rebels 'N' Renegades
There are things I meant to give to you
But time would not allow
Words I should have said to you
But I did not know how
There are dreams I watched just turn to dust
There were roses never sent
And in my dreams are sad remains
Of what I could have been
There were times I meant to talk to you
But you wouldn't understand
My love I always gave to you
The heart of this poor man
And I watched the tears as they filled your eyes
I have no alibi
I feel I've hurt the one I love
But you know I never tried
I'm trying not to hurt you
Though I have hurt myself
For in the end the songs I sing
Are left there on the shelf
I'd hoped someday I'd be the man
But I'm just growing old
And now my days are sad remains
Of what I could have been
