Скачать или смотреть I couldn’t be - Mauvaise Foi

They say, “You know when it’s right”
And I knew when I saw you that night
But timing was cruel and cold
And I played safe when I should’ve been bold

All I remember is your face
And how the silence held its place
And, darlin’, I just couldn’t set it free
I knew it was you
But I couldn’t be me
Now I’m just a ghost of who I tried to be

One laugh, one glance, and my whole world began to shake
But I shut it down, yeah, I called it a mistake
I kept my hands behind my back
Told myself love’s just a trap

All I remember is your smile
That stayed with me a thousand miles
And, darlin’, I still feel it in my sleep
I knew it was you
But I couldn’t be me
And now I’m stuck between the could’ve and the plea

What if I’d stayed?
What if I’d said your name out loud?
What if I’d let it break the cage
Instead of trying to shut it down?

All I remember is your eyes
All I wanted was your light
And darlin’, I just let the moment flee
I knew it was you
But I couldn’t be me
Now you’re the song I never got to sing completely
