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 realise 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
'Cos 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
'Cos I was busy loving something 
else
So for every little thing you hold on to
You've got to let something 
else go

[Repeat *]

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
Wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now shoulda woulda coulda 
means I'm out of time
'Cos 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

[Repeat *]
