The title of this post is a lyric from one of two new Aerosmith songs released Aug 28th off their upcoming album. What Could Have Been Love is a 80's love ballad style single. I immediately fell in love with the lyrics, melody and Steven's legendary rasp singing of love and heart break. Sigh.
What Could Have Been Love on itunes, have a listen: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/what-could-have-been-love/id555658713?i=555658720
I wake up and wonder
How everything went wrong
Am I the one to blame?
I gave up and left you
For nowhere by a train
Now that train has come and gone
I close my eyes and see you
Lying in my bed
And I still dream of that day
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing
That was meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see
What was right in front of me
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness
That comes from being free
What could have been love
Will never be
An old friend told me
That you found somebody new
Oh you're finally movin' on
Oh you think that I'd be over you
After all these years
Yeah, but time has proved me wrong
Cause I'm still holding on
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing
That was meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see
What was right in front of me
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness
That comes from being free
What could have been love
Will never be
We've gone our separate ways
Say goodbye to another day
I still wonder where you are
And are you too far from turning back
You were slippin' through my hands
And I didn't understand
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing
That was meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see
What was right in front of me
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness
That comes from being free
What could have been love
Will never be
What could have been love will never be
What could have been love
