What Might Have Been

Maybe we got our wires crossed, maybe I read you wrong
Maybe I shouldnt have let my feelings evolve or get this strong
Maybe I am exaggerating, maybe I am dumb
But you dont know what you do or how you make me numb
What if i had met you before he ever said he cared
It hurts to think of all that time we maybe could have shared
You say you dont want to hurt him, but honey neither do I
You say you cant love me and I cant help thinking you lie
You know how he feels about me you know he is naive
You know how much he cares because he wears his heart on his sleeve
You want to be my friend now, youre with her to prove that its fine
So I guess theres a wall between us, an imaginary line
I know you felt something that day, maybe you still do
And yet because we love him, I cant be with you
One day I might have to give him up since it really isnt fair
To lead him on when of his feelings I am well aware
So snuff out the candle, no more sparks, sweep it under the rug
No awkward silence, no goodbye, no fake friendly hug
I have to love you and leave you, then we might get through it
Besides, *What Might Have Been...* has a sweet sadness to it
