You were walking by

You were looking so fly

With a cigarette

When you caught my eye



It was love at first sight

I was hypnotized

But nothing ever materialized



I kept it all inside

Held my feelings in disguise

And I know this much is true

That you never knew

That it could have been you



Well I guess you never knew

That it could have been you



I saw you sitting there

Didn't have a care

Black leather jacket and purple hair

Wanted to ask you out

But I walked away

Cause I didn't know what I could say



Now I think back to that day

Could things have gone in a different way?

But I know this much is true

You never had a clue

That it could have been you



Well I guess you never knew

That it could have been you



It could have been...

A perfect match to go down in history

Better than Sid and Nancy

A love to last 'til the end of time

My punk rock valentine

I could've been yours

And you could have been mine

Will there ever be a next time?



Is there such a thing as destiny?

Will we ever be a reality?

All that could have been

All that may never be

Is this the end of our story?



They say all things fade away

Another guy will come my way

But I've never seen anyone like you

And you never knew

That it could have been you
