Lyrics by Kelly Klein

[Verse]
“What if” thoughts greet me in morning dew
Didn’t know, “a good thing when I had it” was true
My heart didn’t understand the magnitude
of what true regret can really do

[pre-chorus]
Once the sun rises, it greets with goodbyes
What if’s and could’ve beens replaying in my mind

[chorus]
But I can love you at night
And see you in my dreams
Where I’m not lonely or quiet
Or filled with the what if’s and could’ve beens

[Verse]
I put my heart on hold, afraid it would get fractured
But I ended in a lonely place, my heart, never captured
So now I long for our long lost laughter
Rereading the pages from my favorite chapter

[pre-chorus]
Once the sun rises, it greets with goodbyes
The what if’s and could’ve beens laying by my side

[chorus]
But I can love you at night
And meet you in my dreams
So life’s not lonely or quiet
Or filled with the what if’s and could’ve beens

[Bridge]
The biggest cliche was my naivety
I only realized my love after you’d moved away.
Wish I’d said something and asked you stay
The could’ve been from things we never say

[pre-chorus]
Once the sun rises, it greets with goodbyes
The what if’s and could’ve beens laying by my side

[chorus]
But I can love you at night
And see you in my dreams
Where I’m not lonely or quiet
Or filled with the what if’s and could’ve beens

I can love you at night
Where you meet me in my dreams
And life won't be lonely or quiet
Or filled with the “what if’s and could’ve beens

[intro]
You walked into my party tonight, a friend’s plus one
Had no idea you were her work husband
Your familiar, smiling eyes, bright as the sun
Man oh man, this was gonna be fun

[verse]
My heart’s memories come flooding back
to late nights and later mornings that last year in college
He says, “you’re as cute as ever, if I’m being honest.”
“Yeah?”I flirt, “you stayin’ for breakfast?”

[chorus]
Pull back the covers, no need for being modest
Our warm comfort reminds me of what we'd once promised
And maybe it’s all happening a little too fast
Reminiscent of those late nights from years past
maybe this is too good to ask
I smile and say, “glad you stayed for breakfast.”

[verse]
Left my heart in late nights and later mornings
A bittersweet memory collage
I say, “you’re as cute as ever, if I’m being honest.”
“That’s right,” you smile, "you were always the wisest.”

[chorus]
Pull back the covers, no need for being modest
Our warm comfort reminds me of what we'd once promised
And maybe it’s all happening a little too fast
Reminiscent of those late nights from years past
maybe this is too good to ask
I smile and say, “glad you stayed for breakfast”

[Verse]
The years have passed and yet our past still seems near
How did we grow apart, year after year?
I say, “still cute as ever, if I’m being honest”
“And you’re you,” he claims, “still a goddess.”

[chorus]
Pull back the covers, no need for being modest
Our warm comfort reminds me of what we'd once promised
And maybe it’s all happening a little too fast
Reminiscent of those late nights from years past
maybe this is too good to ask
I smile and say, “glad you stayed for breakfast”

[outro]
You came to my party last night, a friend’s plus one
Life can come full circle and sure leave you stunned
We savored the moment, regrets, there were none
man oh man, did we have some fun

[Verse]
Can’t enjoy coffee from my favorite mug
Or sit on the couch where we used to hug
No relaxing views of our pretty backyard,
Where fallen branches are scattered like scars

[Chorus]
Well, the girl in the mirror is still the girl you met
The one with inner strength you saw as a threat
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

Well the girl who’s leavin’s still the girl from day one
You tried to break my spirit but it’s not fully gone,
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

[Verse]
Surrounded by things that used to bring joy
Now nothin’ seems right except the road and my boy
The open road’s lit with a million stars
Leading me away from the man who left scars

[Chorus]
Well, the girl in the mirror is still the girl you met
The one with inner strength you saw as a threat
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

The girl who’s leavin’s still the girl from day one
With more space in my heart now that we’re done
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

[Bridge]
One day we will both move past this
All your excuses, making me nauseous
You’re why life came crashing to a halt
Yeah, we both know it’s all your fault

[Chorus]
Well, the girl in the mirror is still the girl you met
The one with inner strength you saw as a threat
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

The girl who’s leavin’s still the girl from day one
Who’s prides still intact, even though yours is long gone
It’s hard to believe, leavin’ the same man I met
It’s not what you wanted, but karma’s what you’ll get

[Verse 1]
A web of lies, you went all in
Not sure when things went wrong.
Wish I knew that you’d been
Holding onto secrets for so long.

[Chorus]
You’re not the man I married
I’m no longer so naive
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
and less in-laws to see.

You’re not the man I married
I’m no longer so naive.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
And your life is on repeat.

[Verse 2]
Constant troubles til we burst.
Well, I was really under your spell.
You always said that you were cursed,
But it was you causing your own hell

[Chorus]
You’re not the man I married.
Took me too long to see.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
ex-jobs and no money.

You’re not the man I married,
Took me too long to see.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives
And your life is on repeat.

[Verse 3]
If there’s a clear sky you’d say there were clouds.
Lies are still lies, even when spoken aloud.
You’re allergic to truth, I know that now.
Make your own rules, don’t keep your vows.

[Chorus]
You’re not the man I married.
Nothing left for you and me.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
In ex-homes where you can’t sleep.

You’re not the man I married.
Nothing left for you and me.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
And your life is on repeat

[Bridge]
Mood swings and sarcasm, your forms of exercise.
Hope no one else believes your image of good guy.

[Chorus]
You’re not the man I married.
I’ll move on from you and me.
Now you’ve got two ex-wives,
And ex-lives, from neglecting.

You’re not the man I married.
I’ll move on from you and me
Ex-wives, ex-jobs, ex-homes, ex-lives
Your life is on repeat.
