Lyrics
What if I never turned to the right?
I'd a missed you walk into my life
You can't regret who you never have met, or you might
Woulda been, shoulda been, coulda been
What if I never answered the phone?
Could you spill your heart after the tone?
Would you finally get brave, with the thoughts that you saved all alone?
When the bottom is falling out
It's left to chance without a doubt
Did you know just what to do?
And was it really up to you?
Woulda been, shoulda been, coulda been a different (life)
Life gives plenty of chances each day
To find your stars or just wish them away
It's the littlest things that we do, they can bring the most change
When the bottom is falling out
It's left to chance without a doubt
Did you know just what to do?
And was it really up to you?
When you're caught between yellow, green, and red
And hope turns to bittersweet instead
When the bottom is falling out
It's left to chance without a doubt
Did you know just what to do?
And was it really up to you?
Woulda been, shoulda been, coulda been
Woulda been, shoulda been, coulda been
Woulda been, shoulda been, coulda been a different life
