I saw two lovers walking the street today
The way they looked at each other had me looking the other way
And it was kind of funny
Cause I remember clearly the way you looked at me
And I looked at her with jealousy
Cause you could have been the one
But we both had to move on
You could have been the one
But we both had to move on

The smell of your hair
The sound of your voice
Makes me want you more
But all that I know
Is when she goes home
The arms she holds are yours
And I know it's dumb
That I can't move on
So I'll keep quiet
But if I said I don't want you
I'd be lying
Cause you could have been the one
But we both had to move on
You could have been the one
You could have been by my side
Now I sit and wonder why
You could have been the one
And maybe I'll wait up by my phone
But we both know we're better off alone
Cause you could have been the one
But we both had to move on
You could have been the one
No matter where I go
You make sure your ghost follows
You could have been the one
