It Could Have Been Better

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
You wont see me cryin anymore
And dont think because
I mention your name
I still love you
But it could have been so so much better
How could we know at the time
That is could have been so so much better
Its so easy to look back and say
That things could be so much better
If I had you today
Now what if wed believed each others lies
And just suppose youd tried holding me closer
Once or twice
Then it could have been so so much better
How could we know at the time
That is could have been so so much better
Its so easy to look back and say
That things could be so much better
If I had you today
The all night movies are my only company
And loves so clear in black and white
Somebodys wrong and somebodys always right
Another happy ending and
Im still all alone
And I wonder if it could have been so much better
