What Could Have Been

It was never black and white
Gray spots left colourblind
But we jumped with closed eyes
Small glimpse of a bright light
Still warms the coldest nights
From deep inside

The core of my bones, they hold a secret now
And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn't it a great life?
If only for a moment
When you were teaching me to take flight
And build something new
Wasn't it a great life?
If only for a moment
When I got to share it all with you

We could never know if this house could be a home
For more than a day or two
There's no happy ever after
(Happy ever after)
No silence filled with laughter
(Silence filled with laughter)
Only memories
From which we grew

Inside of these bones, they hold a secret now
And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

And my bones, they hold a secret now
And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn't it a great life?
If only for a moment
When you were teaching me to take flight
And build something new
Wasn't it a great life?
If only for a moment
When I got to share it all with you

It's my happy ever after
To have held a dream so elegant
In my heart
In my heart

It's my happy ever after
To have held a dream so delicate
In my arms
In my arms
Oh, no
