This is a late nite , driving in the car , deep thoughts, smoking a blunt type of vibe. I love it . HER.... You are truly a gift. Thank you for this gem .
I'm only 14. I don't care, this song is DREAMY. 👍 Geez, man, years later, and now this actually makes me cringe a little bit, ngl. Anyways, this song still goes hard to this day. 🌠💜
[Intro] Please, allow me to show you something Somebody give me, yeah [Verse 1: H.E.R.] Somebody give me, uh Somebody tell me the answers Me and you, isn't the answer, uh Me and you isn't Maybe I'm tellin' myself that But there ain't nothing that'll change that What good would it be, if I knew how you felt about me? (yeah) [Post-Verse 1: H.E.R.] It could've been right but I was wrong Only think 'bout you when I'm alone Part of me that cared just know it's gone And I know, that I can't, get caught up [Chorus: H.E.R.] We could've been and we tried to pretend Every now and again We don't dream about, don't think about what We could've been, though I'm holding again 'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what We could've been, we could've been, yeah We could've, damn [Verse 2: H.E.R.] Remember? Remember the night in Miami First time you put your arms around me I'm up reminiscin' (ooh yeah) Thinking 'bout you isn't helping Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me What good it would do, if I decide to face the truth [Post-Verse 2: H.E.R.] It could've been right but I was wrong Only think 'bout you when I'm alone You only hit me up when she's not home And that's why, I can't, get caught up [Chorus: H.E.R.] We could've been and we tried to pretend Every now and again We don't dream about, don't think about what We could've been, though I'm holding again 'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what We could've been, we could've been We could've, we could've been Oh we could've been, we could've been [Interlude] Yeah, we could've been Woah, ooh What, ooh ohh [Verse 3: Bryson Tiller & H.E.R] Ay What we could've been What we should've been If I wasn't, if I wasn't- With somebody, if you gotta hide it what's the point of trying? I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying? Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin' Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice? Why should it end? Baby I could've been I could've been him, more than your friend Just say where and when, where to make a trip Baby make a wish, be the one I’m with Should’ve been a-, should've, could've, would have been, ay Yeah I would have been (damn) Yeah I would have been (yeah) [Outro: H.E.R.] Damn, damn (could've been) Yeah, we could've been (oh no)
Man ....just sitting here with my eyes closed and just dreaming about that person that it could have been ....making memories, music, love then you open your eyes and realize it was just a dream...damn
Even though H.E.R's fan base isn't as large as it deserves to be, she has a fan base that is so loyal that they listen the EVERYONE of her songs. Not a lot of singers have that, because not a lot of singers are as amazing as H.E.R
yeah same with Bryson Tiller. he so fucking slept on and i feel like the only song people listen to is "don't". but they not like me, where i listen to ALL of his songs. cuz it's true art. and he just... SLEPT ON! he so fineeeee. 😍😍
Me, it's a sad song. Just listening to the issues that caused the break up and comparing and compacting someone's life as much as it did. Grown, 250lbs with tears im my eyes seeing those who went through this and think i have 2 sons that have yet to experience such pain.
i love how the fading vocals in the song represent the message of the song. like hands slowly letting go of each other. at the same time, it's like a slowed rewind to a moment in the past when they were together but not together, or right when they're going their separate ways without telling each other how they feel, or in a moment when they saw each other again or reunited (or imagined it while thinking) but it's too late. reflecting on the "could have been" and what they possibly could have been if they actually were together. the pain of regret and what things "should have" been, but not knowing at the same time is real. i think it's always better to try and pursue than lose out on something that could have been amazing. people need to have that devotional yearning to fight for love though, that's the problem. like why should only one person be trying to keep the ship from sinking alone, crying feeling this strong yearning when both people feel the same and both people feel and address the same bond, talking as if they're soulmates. there's usually always a deadbeat in the equation and that's the problem lol. like dude!??!??!??!!!!! so dumb for not valuing the person and connection to just not do anything about it and let it d!e!!! 😩😩😭😭😭😩😞💔💔💔 it's not important enough for them, so i learned to let sh!t like that go and not drain yourself over it. the right one wouldn't play games like that and would tell you how they feel, and do EVERYTHING to fight for you and make sure they don't lose you.
Now we need her to collab with 6lack, Khalid, Jazmine Sullivan, Ty Dolla Sign, Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, SZA, Snoh Aaglera, Ella Mai, Brent Faiyaz, Jhene Aiko, Miguel, Ehlae .. and my boys from DVSN..
I remember first hearing this song, it was a chilly night, my mom was driving and I was sitting in the back seat just looking at nature and different lights, and this song came on and it just went with the vibes😩
Could you imagine Bryson tiller 🍁 (fall) Sza 🍃(spring) Daniel Ceaser ❄️ (winter) Tory Lanez ☀️ (summer) On a album. A seasons of the year album. 😍😍 Edit: You could swap Tory for H.E.R I prefer to have them both
Somebody give me, yeah Somebody give me, uh Somebody tell me the answers Me and you isn't the answer, uh Me and you isn't Maybe I'm tellin' myself that But there ain't nothin' that'll change that What good would it be, if I knew how you felt about me? (yeah) It could've been right but I was wrong Only think 'bout you when I'm alone Part of me that cared just know it's gone And I know, that I can't, get caught up We could've been And we try to pretend Every now and again We don't dream about, don't think about what We could've been Though I'm holding again 'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what We could've been We could've been, yeah We could've, damn Remember? Remember the night in Miami First time you put your arms around me I'm up reminiscin' (ooh yeah) Thinking 'bout you isn't helping Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me What good it would do, if I decide to face the truth It could've been right but I was wrong Only think 'bout you when I'm alone You only hit me up when she's not home And that's why, I can't, get caught up We could've been And we try to pretend Every now and again We don't dream about, don't think about what We could've been Though I'm holding again 'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what We could've been We could've been We could've We could've been What we could've been, we could've been Yeah What we could've been No, ooh (easy as hell) Ay What we could've been What we should've been If I wasn't, if I wasn't With somebody, if you gotta hide it what's the point of trying? I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying? Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin' Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice? Why should it end? Baby I could've been I could've been him, more than your friend Just say where and when, where to make a trip Baby make a wish, be the one I’m with Should’ve been a, should've, could've, would have been, ay Yeah I would have been (damn) Yeah I would have been (yeah) Damn, damn (could've been) Yeah, we could've been (oh no) (easy as hell)
This is that type of song that will have a grown ass man looking at himself in the mirror telling himself he messed up and then getting a shot of crown royal apple in tears.

Same here found it while still in that 8 year relationship now I'm in a relationship with myself....Life is Good sometimes the truth comes through a song
Thank you H.E.R this is exactly what I'm going through. I always think of what me and my man could've been. But some people are here for a season only. I'm learning when God says let them go. Let them go. Some doors you can only go through alone.
