Lyrics
We Could Have Made It
© 2009 Eric Henderson
Verse
My girl turns to me
She says "boy turn off the television
Now I need your full attention
Cause I've made my decision"
Come tomorrow morning
I'm packing my things and I'm leaving you
It's not because I'm angry baby, no no no
I just don't know what else to do
Chorus
Ain't no mystery
It's not complicated
Boy, I just wanted you to love me
And we could have made it
Verse
I said hey girl wait just a minute
Is there anything can do?
I watched a tear roll down her cheek
Then she smiled and she said, "No, but I still love you"
Well my chest was heaving, my chest was heaving
I started to get the shakes
The girl that I loved was leaving
And I was left her wondering just what true love takes
Chorus
Ain't no mystery
It's not complicated
Boy, I just wanted you to love me
And we could have made it
Bridge
Verse
The room was silent for a minute
Then she turned her head
She said boy I just wanted you to love me
And that was all she said
Outro
Ain't no mystery
It's not complicated
She said I just wanted you to love me
And we could have made it
Ain't no mystery
It's not complicated
She just wanted me to love her
And we could have made it
