[Verse 1]
She could have been your lover
But she was just your doll
She could have been your best friend
But she was just your dog
[Pre-Chorus]
People like you can't take it
And so you build a wall
You built a wall between us
One that will never fall
[Chorus]
You could have been the one
That they hold onto and remember
You could have been the reason
They stay warm and waste their time
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Feeling you hold on to in December
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Reason good enough to call you mine
[Verse 2]
She could have been your housemate
But she was just a wall
She could have been your sister
But you forgot to call, yeah, you forgot to call
[Pre-Chorus]
People like you can't take it
And so you build a wall
You built a wall between us
One that will never fall
[Chorus]
You could have been the one
That they hold onto and remember
You could have been the reason
They stay warm and waste their time
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Feeling you hold on to in December
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Reason good enough to call you mine
[Bridge]
Knife in, knife out
Got me feeling left out
Knife in, knife out
Got me feeling left out
Knife in, knife out
Got me feeling left out
Knife in, knife out
[Chorus]
You could have been the one
That they hold onto and remember
You could have been the reason
They stay warm and waste their time
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Feeling you hold on to in December
Could've been, could've been, could've been a
Reason good enough to call you mine
[Outro]
Could've been, could've been, could've been
Could've been, could've been, could've been
Could've been someone
