“What Could Have
Been/ It’s all Water Under the Bridge”
LYRICS:
I saw a girl at a party but I
was too shy to say, “Hello.”
By the time I got up the nerve to talk to her
I overheard her say, “I have to go.”
Why couldn’t the evening have ended
with at least a resounding “No”?
Now I'll never know
What could have been.
What could have been.
(But now it’s)
all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
When I think back a year ago.
It’s all water under the bridge.
You’d like me if you got to know me
but you’ll never get that far.
The issues that I’m dealing with,
you took for bizarre.
But you’ll never get to see
how things could have been.
I’ll keep unhappiness to myself
and never bug you again.
(Because it’s)
all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
When I think back a year ago.
It’s all water under the bridge.
All the guys I want to date have girlfriends.
All the girls I want to date are heterosexual.
What does this mean?
I could just (fucking) scream!
Ahhhhh!
It’s all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
When I think back a year ago.
It’s all water under the bridge.
They say love will come/ when you least expect it
but it never came.
But since I’ve just been/ waiting here passively,
I’m the one to blame.
I’d been lead to believe/ this was one of those things
like waiting for water to boil.
Go do something else for a while –
it’ll happen in no time.
I saw a girl at a party but I
was too shy to say, “Hello.”

Now I'll never know
What could have been.
What could have been.
(Now it’s)
all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
When I think back a year ago.
It’s all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
It’s all water under the bridge.
When I think back a year ago.
It’s all water under the bridge.
