What Could Have Been - Jordan Mackampa

It was never black and white

Grey spots, left colourblind

But we jumped with closed eyes

A small glimpse of a bright light

That still warms the coldest night

From deep inside the core of…

My bones they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When you were teaching me to take flight

And build something new

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When I got to share it all with you

We could never know if this house could be a home

For more than day or two

There’s no happy ever after

(happy ever after)

Or silence filled with laughter

(Silence filled with laughter)

Only memories

From which we grew

Inside of these bones they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

And my bones they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When you were teaching me to take flight

And build something new

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When I got to share it all with you

It’s my happy ever after

To have held a dream so elegant

In my heart

In my heart

It’s my happy ever after

To have held a dream so delicate

In my arms

In my arms

Oh, no

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When you were teaching me to take flight

And build something new

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When I got to share it all with you

No, no, no

Wasn’t it a great lie?

If only for a moment

When you were teaching me to take flight

And build something new

Wasn’t it a great life?

If only for a moment

When I got to share it all with you

Share it all with you

Share it all with you
