Could've Been Me

They grew up religious outskirts of town

He liked to get high when nobody's around

For a while there, it was alright

Summer before he got a degree

He thought it would be better to get down on a knee

For a while there, it was alright

But the glory gets real old real fast

When all you do is live in the past

'Cause I don't wanna settle for a life like that

I don't wanna settle

If I give in and I bury my dreams

Sayin' "I do" is to give him more peacе

And what does that make me? (Oh-oh)

If I gavе up and I gave it all in

Sold myself for an easier win

Oh, what? I can't believe

That could've been me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

That could've been me

A hometown hero who never left

They praise him so much that it got to his head

For a while there, it was alright

He told me he loved me at 18

He promised a world that he'd never seen

For a while there, it was alright

But the glory gets real old real fast

When all you do is live in the past

'Cause I don't wanna settle for a life like that

I don't wanna settle

If I give in and I bury my dreams

Sayin' "I do" is to give him more peace

And what does that make me? (Oh-oh)

If I gave up and I gave it all in

Sold myself for an easier win

Oh, what? I can't believe

That could've been me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

That could've been me

Could've been me

It could've, it could've been me

It could've, it could've been me

It could've, it could've been me
