I could have chosen had I wanted it
I could have, but I didn't
The bowl was full of pearls
but I had to grab the stone
I could have had anyone I desired
but with you I never try.
Could have done anything
but the soul couldn't obey.
Ref.
I could have
decieved even in a more clever way
and leave homeless a richer man
Leave in tears a braver kind
but I didn't, you did that to me.
I could have swam this sea
as I did many others before
save all the right excuses
and I did just... Nobody to blame for what I did.
I could have chosen had I wanted it
I could have, but I didn't
The bowl was full of pearls
but I had to grab the stone
