Water is getting into my arch
Diming out lights until dark
Thought my construction was tight
Thought what I built up might stand the flood
Stand the flood
Phrases bearing a questionmark
Are trying to board my barque
Again I start thinking
What could have been
What might have been
If I made up my mind in a different way
What could have been
If I made you stay
Again I start thinking what do they mean
What do they mean
All these words like "but" and "if"
Haunting my brain
What does it mean
When all the doubts come up again
Remembering me
What should have been
What could have been
What if I've followed my vision
What if I've sat on the fence
If I took a different decision
If I felt a change of sense
So many things I can't change
Too many setups I can't rearrange
Too many unknown lamentos
I'm singing of key
Should I've thought of myself
Or of the pain inside
Climbing up the ladder
I was put out of stride
Should I've tried harder
Banish my doubts
What do they mean
These words like "faith" and "love"
Bereft of their meaning
When push comes to shove
What might have been
If I made up my mind in a different way
What might have been
If I made you stay
If I made you stay
What might have been
