   I had friends against the war

                              
By things they did so well yesterday
                                       
They lived their lives without fortune or thrill
                              
With nothing very much to say

Pre Chorus:

                      
Always standing in the same old lines
                      
Moving sideways to the march of time

CHORUS:

              
What might have been
              
What might have been

              
A portrait of my life
             
No fool would say
        
You live today
                 
Without a will to survive

Cornered now, what can I do
I'm trapped by what might have been
The great big 'if' that hangs around my neck
Has played its part in all my dreams
Always making the bad seem worse
Living my life reversed

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

                               
I know the call that I can't seem to move
                       
Without a little fall from grace
                               
But now I know when I'm down in this mood
                                                     
It's only me that I have to face
              
What might have been, yeah
               
   What might have been

      
                  
What might have been

      

                         
Always standing in the same old lines

                     
Moving sideways to the march of time
