Shoulda woulda coulda

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn´t allow for compromise
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
Every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realise how far apart we´d grown
CHORUS:
How I wish I,wish I´d done a little bit more
Now "shoulda,woulda,coulda" means I´m out of time
Coz"shoulda,woulda,coulda" can´t change your mind
And I wonder,wonder what I´m gonna do
"shoulda,woulda,coulda" are the last words of a fool
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there´s a love that I put aside
Cause I was busy loving something else
So for every little thing you hold on to,you´ve got to let something else go
CHORUS
If I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I´m right where I belong
But sometimes when I´m not that strong
CHORUS[2x]
Can´t change your mind
