It Could Have Been You Lyrics - The Eyeliners

you were walking by 

you were looking so sly 

with a cigarette 

when you caught my eye 

it was love at first sight 

and i was hypnotized 

but nothing ever materialized 

i kept it all inside 

held my feeling in disguise 

and i know this much is true 

that you never knew 

that it could have been you 

[Chorus] 

well i guess you never knew 

that it could have been you 

i saw you sitting there 

didn't have a care 

black leather jacket and purple hair 

wanted to ask you out 

but i walked away 

cause i didn't know what i could say 

now i think back to that day 

could things have gone a different way? 

but i know this much is true 

you never had a clue 

that it could've been you 

[Chorus] 

it could have been... 

a perfect match to go down in history 

better than sid and nancy 

a love to last 'til the end of time 

my punk rock valentine 

i could've been yours 

and you could've been mine 

will there ever be a next time? 

is there such a thing as destiny? 

will we ever be a reality? 

all that could have been 

all that may never be 

is this the end of our story? 

they say all things fade away 

another guy will come my way 

but i've never seen anyone like you 

and you never knew 

that it could have been you
