#HunterHayes #CouldveBeenYou

Lyrics -
Verse 1:
I said I love you to a stranger
Someone I didn’t know
I didn’t know
You’ve got a thing for sipping danger
And you take it everywhere you go
I know I fell fast
I know I fell hard
I know it felt good
Until it fell apart
I got my things and you got a new man
Talking to myself I understand that

Chorus
I’m lucky cause it could’ve been you
Fucking up all of my plans
Stealing all the time on my hands
Want me to want you back but I can’t
I’m slipping through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house
Yeah and out of my head
Its true
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I’m lucky
Cause it could’ve been you

Verse 2:
Somebody’s gonna show up here someday
Make me forget I ever knew your name
They’ll get the best of me
I’ll be in such a better place
Could’ve been the one in the frame
You could’ve been the one to break the chain
You could've been the one but too late
I’m counting my stars
Cause I’m lucky
It could’ve been you

Bridge
Wasted dreams on wasted words
I loved them when I heard them
But I knew it wasn’t true
Lucky me
Cause It could’ve been you

Words can't describe how much we love and appreciate you Hunter. We're all so proud of you and how far you've come 🥹🫶🏻

Let’s talk lyrics: TOTGA: “All the chains that I couldn’t break” and then CBY: “You could’ve been the one to break the chain”That is a much deeper level of intensity than is lead on and it isn’t unnoticed or unseen. TOTGA lyric signifying all of the past relationships that didn’t work. And CBY lyric signifying that the individual could’ve been the one to break that occurring cycle *chain* of past events not working out. SUCH creative and outstanding writing on you guys part!!!!

Seriously Hunter you keep killing it. Watching your music grow over the years has been incredible. So fucking proud of you!!

[astrosegolden]

Needless to say, "Could've Been You" will be an absolute bop for years to come. Also, the fact that your music just keeps getting better and better goes to show the amount of dedication and emotion put into your art. Hunter, thank you for sharing your heart with us and giving us *super* vibey songs to jam out to on car rides. The video is super cool as well! Cheers!

[annika]

Hunter Hayes truly deserves so much more appreciation!

[Paymitch]

I've been a fan for YEARS, and each song keeps getting better and better! So proud of how far you've come Hunter!!!!

Absolutely LOVE the symbolization of reflecting and realizing self worth. Red for Ready to move on, know you’re the shit, and show yourself some love and appreciation, right? Truly, good for you. So brilliantly served- it’s giving savage power move, gonna need some more dominance like this in the future

"Slipping through my fingers like sand" love that lyric! Love this SONG! 🤯 Already about to hit replay!

[LauraOttawa]

Time goes by slowly when you're a Hayniac waiting for a new HH song and video to be released! ⌚️ Kind of reminds me of being a kid waiting to open presents! 🎁

The red and blue colors; symbolizing change like the “Night and Day” music video. Blue symbolizes and conveys one part, one emotion of the story, and the red represents another. Can’t wait to hear this album and how it connects to Wild Blue! You’re truly a genius, my friend 💙❤️

[andiadams]

I have listened to this on repeat since the day it came out. My fiancés eye rolls every time I replay it cracks me up… I know he secretly loves it too 🥰

[RachelYu]

"Self-reflection opens the pathway to freedom" and this video is legit the visual representation of that statement. The lyrics, the visuals, the story behind it, just everything about it!! Proud of you for putting out this song. Never let anyone doubt your worth, always be unapologetically yourself! Red Sky era let's freaking 🔥

[lexinicolevlogs]

always need a song to say goodbye to past and hello to the future and this is definitely that

[ashleesmith]

This man can make sad or love songs for us fans he is a treasure of his fans ❤️

[HunterE]

Another hit 💖💖💖💖!! I’m loving how Hunter is evolving from songs that only pine for someone’s love to a song where you actually stand up for yourself and you think to yourself “Nope, I want something much better.”

[JenineWarner]
