[Intro: H.E.R.]

Please, allow me to show you something

Mmm, somebody give me, yeah

[Verse 1: H.E.R.]

Somebody give me, uh

Somebody tell me the answers

Me and you isn't the answer (Uh)

Me and you isn't (No)

Maybe I'm tellin' myself that

But there ain't nothin' that'll change that

What good would it be if I knew how you felt about me? (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]

It could've been right, but I was wrong (Uh)

Only think 'bout you when I'm alone (Yeah)

The part of me that cared is almost gone

And I know that I can't get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R.]

We could've been

And we try to pretend

Every now and again

We don't dream about, don't think about what

We could've been

Though I'm holding it in

'Cause I know in the end

You dream about, I think about what

We could've been

We could've been (Yeah)

We could've (Damn)

[Verse 2: H.E.R.]

Remember?

Remember the night in Miami?

First time you put your arms around me

I'm up reminiscin' (Ooh, yeah)

And thinking 'bout you isn't helping

Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me

What good it would do if I decide to face the truth

[Bridge: H.E.R.]

It could've been right, but I was wrong

Only think 'bout you when I'm alone

You only hit me up when she's not home

And that's why I can't get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R.]

We could've been

And we try to pretend

Every now and again

We don't dream about, don't think about what

We could've been (Oh yeah)

Though I'm holding it in

'Cause I know in the end

You dream about, I think about what

We could've been, we could've been

We could've, we could've been

What we could've been, we could've been

[Post-Chorus]

What we could've been, yeah

What we could've been

[Verse 3: Bryson Tiller & H.E.R.]

Ayy

What we could've been

What we should've been

If I wasn't, if I wasn't with somebody

If you gotta hide it, what's the point of trying?

I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying?

Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin'

Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice?

Why should it end? Baby, I could've been

I could've been him, more than your friend

Just say where and when, where to make a trip

Baby, make a wish, be the one I'm with

Should’ve been a, should've, could've, would have been, ayy

Yeah, I would have been (Damn)

Yeah, I would have been (Yeah)

[Outro: H.E.R.]

Damn, damn (Could've been)

Yeah, we could've been, oh no
