Could’ve Lyrics by Scott Simms

David

2018

[Chorus: Scott Simms]
I could've been the one that you thought you would not need
The only one that you could love but you could not see
And everything I did for you would be for me
I could've gave you everything, you think you want and need
I could've been the one to keep a part of your soul
The one to come and save you when you're out of control
And if you never knew that I could make you whole
Then I think it's time, you know

[Verse 1: Scott Simms]
Hey, I feel like when I call I get no answer
And I need someone to help me understand it
They say that "You come highly recommended"
But I can't hear Your voice when I'm depending yeah yeah
So do I really need You when I'm winning yeah yeah?
And do I answer to You when I'm sinning yeah yeah?
You hung your head and said that "It was finished" yeah yeah
I guess I'll take this time for some repentance yeah
I'll never forget it again
Never forget You my friend
Yes Elohim, I struggle cause I'm just a man
Only on you I depend, send you a prayer
You never fail to be there
You've giving it all to just show that You care
I'm giving it all so You know I'm aware
Whatever You go I will follow You there yeah
Whatever You go I will follow You there yeah
Before I could notice You, I had a fail yeah
I had to lose and know how to prevail
You died and you rose and You saved me from Hell
I doubted You and you reminded me yeah yeah

[Chorus: Scott Simms & Reborn]
I could've been the one that you thought you would not need
The only one that you could love but you could not see
And everything I did for you would be for me
I could've gave you everything, you think you want and need
I could've been the one to keep a part of your soul
The one to come and save you when you're out of control
And if you never knew that I could make you whole
Then I think it's time, you know

[Verse 2: Reborn]
I am Reborn, AFTL
If it wasn't for Your grace
If it wasn't for Your grace
If it wasn't for Your grace, tell me where would I?
If it wasn't for Your love
If it wasn't for Your blood
If it wasn't for Your Son, Who was there when I was
Sinking, sinking, I was sinking
Lost in sin, wasn't thinking
Faded daily, I was drinking
Slave to sin, fighting demons
Then You set me free, I'm like yeah yeah
Then You covered me, I'm like yeah yeah
It's because of You, I'm like yeah yeah
It was not of me, I'm like yeah yeah
3 days (3 days)
One cross (One cross)
You came (You came)
For the lost (For the lost)
3 days (3 days)
No loss (No loss)
You won (You won)
For us all

[Chorus: Scott Simms & Reborn]
I could've been the one that you thought you would not need (Woah!)
The only one that you could love but you could not see
And everything I did for you would be for me
I could've gave you everything, you think you want and need
I could've been the one to keep a part of your soul
The one to come and save you when you're out of control
(When I think about the goodness,)
And if you never knew that I could make you whole
(And all he's done for the kid!)
Then I think it's time, you know

[Outro: Reborn]
Amazing, amazing
