Lyrics
Could?ve Been a riddle music by Elza, words by Reggie Libhart & Elza
All those nights you come to me
and stare so longingly
the hunger in your eyes,
now I know it?s eating me
every night when it gets dark
you slip into my room
you love me in my sleep
and you take all that you need you take all that you need
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted.
But you took it all too far.
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted.
And you could have the basement, in the garden I would play.
And you could have the darkness and I could keep the day
When I wake you?ve left your mark
branded on my heart
for everyone to see
how dizzy you make me
Now I?m sitting on the porch
brandishing a torch
I?ll burn this old house down
so you can?t come around.
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted.
But you took it all too far.
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted
But you had to have your way.
Now I?m walking in the park
light has turned to dark
and though I know you?re gone
I get the feeling you?re watching me
Beyond the bushes from a tree
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted.
But you took it all too far.
We could?ve shared if you could?ve been trusted
But you had to have your way.
And you could have the basement, in the garden I would play.
And you could have the darkness and I could keep the day
