You could have been something
You could have been free
You could have been anything you wanted to be
You could have seen all the things you wanted to see
It should have been easy to tell me goodnight
It should have been nothing for you to take flight
You could have been anywhere else you wanted to be
You're quick to decide what it is that is right
You could have made so much more of your life
And I know there's some place else you ought to be
But you fell for me
Yeah you fell for me
I don't declare that I know the truth
And I don't believe in a burden of proof
And I don't know why you're the only one who can't see
I left you alone yet you wanted to stay
And I gave you reasons to just walk away
I turned my back hoping sooner or later you'd see
But you stayed with me
Oh you fell for me
You've helped me see how true blind faith could be
You've seen the best in the worst of me
You deserve so much more from a man
Than I'll ever give you so please understand
I'm not the one who can be what you need me to be
You could have been something
You could have been free
You could have been anything you wanted to be
And I know there's someplace else you ought to be
But you fell for me
You fell for me
So glad that you fell for me
