Beverley Knight Shoulda Woulda Coulda lyrics

People say that together
We were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus
In a clear night sky

We thought our love
Could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition
Wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance
All the dreams that were clear to me
Every choice that I had to make
Left you on your own

Somehow the road we started down
Had split asunder
Too late to realize
How far apart we'd grown

How I wish, I wish I'd done a little bit more
Now, shoulda, woulda, coulda, means I'm out of time
'Coz shoulda, woulda, coulda, can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
Shoulda, woulda, coulda are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels
To live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them, everybody gotta face
Their highs and their lows


And in my life there's a love I put aside
'Cause I was busy loving something else
So for every little thing you hold on to
You've got to let something else go

How I wish, I wish I'd done a little bit more
Now, shoulda, woulda, coulda, means I'm out of time
'Coz shoulda, woulda, coulda, can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
Shoulda, woulda, coulda are the last words of a fool

Fool, if I would now forsake
The opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I

How I wish, I wish I'd done a little bit more
Now, shoulda, woulda, coulda, means I'm out of time
'Coz shoulda, woulda, coulda, can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
Shoulda, woulda, coulda are the last words of a fool

How I wish, I wish I'd done a little bit more
Now, shoulda, woulda, coulda, means I'm out of time
'Coz shoulda, woulda, coulda, can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
Shoulda, woulda, coulda are the last words of a fool
