You could've loved me
But I did it all wrong [bad word] around, taking my time, taking too long
You were an anchor, I was wild and free
But you could've loved me

Now it's crazy to see you wearing that ring
We could've been young and dumb and restless
Could've been everything
You had your reasons
I had my dreams
But you could've loved me

Sometimes love falls in your hands
Sometimes love has other plans
Sometimes good good things just get away from us
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any regrets
I just know it has to be this way because
I'm still exactly who I was

But you could've loved me
If it happened just right
But we rise and we fall and we can't win them all
Cause that's just life
It ain't like the stories you see in the movies
But you could've loved me

Sometimes love falls in your hands
Sometimes love has other plans
Sometimes good good things just get away from us
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any regrets
I just know it has to be this way because
I'm still exactly who I was

But you could've loved me
If I could've stayed
But the world kept pulling me out of this town
And it's better that way
Cause I'm still a dreamer, wild and free
But you could've loved me
