Might Have Been

Now I believe you love me. I usually don't doubt
But sometimes there are moments when you shut me out
And I have to wonder when you seem out of touch
Are you thinking of him and what might have been

All the letters and the photographs you wouldn't throw away
They come to my mind when you seem to stray
And there are moments when I just suspect
You're thinking of him and what might have been
Are you thinking of him and what might have been

As you start to reminisce and talk about back when
There were others lives and other worlds you lived with other men
And though you're by my side now I have to stop and guess
You're thinking of him and what might have been

When you stare off in the distance and don't seem like you're there
When you put on that old dress that you used to wear
When everything reminds you of something that you've lost
You're thinking of him and what might have been
Are you thinking of him and what might have been?
You're thinking of him and what might have been
What might have been
What might have been

Now I know you love me at least most of the time
But barricades of your histories are far too steep to climb
I'll build you a new castle if you let the old one fall
So let me in and say farewell to what has not been
Just let me in and say farewell to what has not been
Just let me in and say farewell to what has not been
What might have been
What might have been
