'What You Could Have Had' by Jak Kirkman

Do you ever feel like you've lost somebody?
Thinking what to do but nothing gets better
You know, I tried my best,

Are you sure you’ve made the right decision? 
You’ve broken my heart and taken three wishes,
But if you change your mind,

I’ll be here with open arms, baby
You can run back to my arms,
Oh, I don’t wanna’ see you sad, 
Wipe away those tears and turn your head,
And look what you could have had,

Do you ever feel like you’ve been cheated?
Pushed to one side and mentally defeated,
You know how this makes me feel,

‘Cause I can’t fight my inner feelings,
Tried to shut them away and start my healing,
But if you change your mind,

I’ll be here with open arms, baby
You can run back to my arms,
Oh, I don’t wanna’ see you sad,
Wipe away those tears and turn your head,
And look what you could have had,

Look up high into the sky,
See the other side,
Open up your arms tonight,
You can smile this is the brighter side,
I chose these words in case you change your mind,

I’ll be here with open arms, baby
You can run back to my arms, 
Oh, I don’t wanna see you sad,
Wipe away those tears and turn your head, 
And look what you could have had,

You've broken my heart, broken my heart,

Oh, I don’t wanna see you sad, 
Wipe away those tears and turn your head,
And look what you could have had.
