Could Have Been Me (From Sing 2) - Halsey

Organ music softly playing Sounds of people's whispers saying "She's a pretty bride; you're such a lucky man" I smile and blink the tears away And find the proper words to say While aching with the pain they just can't understand It could have been me Wearing that dress of white It could have been me Holding you close tonight It could have been me Giving your children life Why can't it be me who'll be your wife? Now we're all gathered together You vow your love for worse or better Lift her veil and kiss her with a tender glow Then leading her back up the aisle I try to meet your eyes and smile But all the time my heart is breaking so It could have been me Wearing that dress of white It could have been me Holding you close tonight It could have been me Giving your children life Why can't it be me who'll be your wife? They toast the lovely bride and groom And as you leave the noisy room They say that it's my turn to catch the bride's bouquet And as the crowd goes streaming past And someone says "He's hers at last" I hold my pretty flowers and slowly walk away It could have been me Wearing that dress of white It could have been me Holding you close tonight It could have been me Giving your children life Why can't it be me who'll be your wife?

Don't wanna live as an untold story Rather go out in a blaze of glory I can't hear you, I don't fear you I'll live now 'cause the bad die last Dodging bullets with your broken past I can't hear you, I don't fear you, now Wrapped in your regret What a waste of blood and sweat Oh, oh, oh I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me Yeah Don't wanna live as an unsung melody I'd rather listen to the silence telling me I can't hear you, I won't fear you Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning The thought of work is getting my skin crawling I can't fear you, I don't hear you now Wrapped in your regret What a waste of blood and sweat Oh, oh, oh I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me Yeah (I wanna taste love and pain) (Wanna feel pride and shame) (Don't wanna take my time) No (Don't wanna waste one line) Hey, hey (wanna live better days) Just better (never look back and say) (Could have been me) It could have been me (It could have been me) It could have been me I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Just better Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me It could have been me It could have been me Yeah

If it's a million to one If it's a million to one (I want to taste love and pain) If it's a shot in the dark (Oh, I want to feel pride and shame) 'Cause I, I just can't afford to be wrong (don't want to take my time) (Don't want to waste one life) even when I'm afraid (Could've been me) you're gonna know my name (Don't want to live as an untold story) You're gonna know my You're gonna know my name (Oh, rather go out in a blaze of glory) You're gonna know my (Whoa, my)
