You Could’ve Been Better Lyrics by Dina Dove

Pretty Boys - EP

2023

[Verse 1]
He said, "Let me rewrite history then tell you all about it
Let me make you forget which one of us started it"
Maybe it was a fluke and none of this was supposed to happen
But somehow I find that I'm still asking the question
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could work it out
Maybe we're okay now
Maybe this is all in our heads
You and I could make it right
Walk away from the gunfight
But now I'm thinking that
[Chorus]
In my perfect dreamland
You and I would be together
You'd hold my hand
And do the right thing forever
'Cause this is real life
And I don't likе
Having to play pretend
'Cause in my pеrfect dreamland
You and I could have been better
[Verse 2]
So tell her your side that you and I
We never mattered
And while you're at it
Break that habit of being a liar
But I have to tell you
You better tell her the truth
Because I have all the proof
Don't make her wonder
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could work it out
Maybe we're okay now
Maybe this is all in our heads
You and I could make it right
Walk away from the gunfight
But now I'm thinking that
[Chorus]
In my perfect dreamland
You and I would be together
You'd hold my hand
And do the right thing forever
'Cause this is real life
And I don't like
Having to play pretend
'Cause in my perfect dreamland
You and I could have been better
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Bridge]
So tell me, baby
Are you sorry
Or am I just wishing you are?
'Cause I filled in the gaps of this story
But it didn't have to be this hard
I don't want to tell her everything you said to me
So in my head, I'll pretend, and write myself that happy ending
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could work it out
Maybe we're okay now
Maybe this is all in our heads
You and I could make it right
Walk away from the gunfight
But now I'm thinking that
[Chorus]
In my perfect dreamland
You and I would be together
You'd hold my hand
And do the right thing forever
'Cause this is real life
And I don't like
Having to play pretend
'Cause in my perfect dreamland
You and I could have been better
[Outro]
Could have been better
Could have been better
You could have been better
