Venus by Air - What Might've Been

Lean into the fears
When I think about what might've been
No I couldn't stop the tears
As I touched your perfect skin
The ghost of your face
Haunts my sunlit hours
You fade without a trace
Unmarked by grave or flowers
The dream slips in and out
Like shadow, lurking doubt
Do I regret the time
When you could've been mine
You'd have unruly curls
Wear your grandmother's pearls
Protect the sick and the weak
Come to me when you're sinking in the deep
Tip toe in my room
Try on my heels, perfume
Shave legs with daddy's shears
Thread diamonds on your ears
Play grown up in the mirror
Braid rakhis for your brother
Ambitions bloom clearer
Write stories, go discover
The dream slips in and out
Like shadow, lurking doubt
Do I regret the time
When you could've been mine
You'd have unruly curls
Wear your grandmother's pearls
Protect the sick and the weak
Come to me when you're sinking in the deep
Share your secrets and wishes
While we stand and wash the dishes
Hold me close and give me shelter
When disease has taken over
The dream slips in and ou
Like shadow, lurking doubt
Do I regret the time
When you could've been mine
You'd have unruly curls
Wear your grandmother's pearls
Protect the sick and the weak
Come to me when you're sinking in the deep
