V1  I met the black girl in school and liked her  
CH  what we could have been
V2  I regret  I never said anything to keep us together

We Could Have Been

V1
Beautiful black curly hair braided with 2 red ribbons
Skin so smooth, tan and velvety she seemed to glow
It didn’t matter that her skin it made her a beautiful women
My thoughts centered on the girl I wanted to know 
I was the all star high school jock 
She was the smart girl in all my classes
Everyday I found ways to her to talk 

Pre
We started out as study buddies
But when I look into her eyes 
I felt like I could conquer the world

Ch
We could ‘ve be that high school couple
We could ‘ve been that prom king and queen
We could ‘ve been graduating at the top of our scene
We could ‘’ve been holding hand in the sunset
Walking on the beach, planning our forever/We could ‘ve  been walking on the beach
We could ‘ve been the sparkle in our parents’ eyes
I let my family’s feelings talk me out of 
What we could have been


V2
My father noticed her picture on my phone 
Asked me who is that girl and who were her people
When I told him he didn’t know what to say
His silent stare gave me the answer
He said son do you know what you're doing?
And how far has this gone
I told him I can’t help who I love-leave us alone
