What Could Have Been Lyrics – Sting, Ray Chen

What Could Have Been Text

---

[Verse 1: Sting]
I am a monster you created
You ripped out all my parts
And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw
And I needed you more

[Chorus: Sting]
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
What could have been
Oh, what could have been

[Bridge: Sting]
Why don't you love who I am?
What we could have been

[Verse 2: Sting]
I am your ghost, a fallen angel
You ripped out all my parts
I couldn't care what invention you made me
'Cause I, I was meant to be yours

[Violin Solo: Ray Chen]
[Chorus: Sting]
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play—

[Outro: Sting]
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
What could have been
