Wrote this song at a party for somebody I don’t know.
Got invited by a girl that I met a couple hours ago.
Everybody is a friend of a friend or a movie star,
They start to sing along when I pick up my guitar...
That’s why, I wrote this song for you.
That’s why, you had to know the truth,
When you hear this song on the radio,
You’ll hear my voice and then you’ll know,
That’s why, this could’ve been you.
Shot the sh- with your favorite band, now we’re best friends.
Hope you’re getting by alright with your backup plan.
You’re living for the weekend, I forgot what day it is.
Would’ve called you out by name but can’t remember it.
That’s why, I wrote this song for you.
That’s why, you had to know the truth,
When you hear this song on the radio,
You’ll hear my voice and then you’ll know,
That’s why, this could’ve been you.
For every time you said I’d be alone,
For every chance I took on my own,
For every dream you couldn’t see,
For every time you doubted me…
That’s why, I wrote this song for you.
That’s why, you had to know the truth,
When you hear this song on the radio,
You’ll hear my voice and then you’ll know…
That’s why, I wrote this song for you.
That’s why, you had to know the truth,
When you hear this song on the radio,
You’ll hear my voice and then you’ll know,
That’s why, this could’ve been you.
This could’ve been you.
This could’ve been you.
