It Could Have Been Better Lyrics

I was very sad last nightYou came byI was so glad though sadness coveredThe smile I kept for youI was waiting for the cloud to pass overThen I could show my loveYou could have made me laugh if you'd stayedBut you leftI was more confused than I was before you cameI was frightenedI saw insanity and tearsI shouted for you to stayIt could have been betterIf you had held my handAnd smiled at meOr questioned whyMy face was so distortedI'm back in the sunlight againOh I'm so gladIt's only joy I wanna give to youSometimes I feel lost and desperatePlease forgive meIf I show no sign of reasoningOr considerationIn my bleaker times
