You Could've Had It All
Kevin Fowler Lyrics

If these old walls could talk
The singer wishes the walls of his old house could speak so they could reveal his secrets.

I'd be a sad man
The singer would be filled with sadness if his secrets were exposed.

She'd left me long ago
The singer's loved one has already left him, and he fears the revelation of his past actions would make things worse.

If she knew the things I did back then
The artist is afraid that if his loved one knew the things he did in the past, she would never have stayed with him.

No, they ain't said a word
The walls have kept the artist's secrets safe, never revealing them to anyone.

Stood silent through it all
Through all the singer's actions, the walls have remained silent and never exposed him.

I'd be a lonely man
If the singer's secrets were revealed, he would be alone and abandoned by those who once loved him.

This old house of ours
The artist is referring to the house he once shared with his loved one.

It's made of stone
The house is built to last and endure anything that comes its way.

But it's built on sand
Despite its durability, the house's foundation is not very strong and could collapse under pressure.

And these four walls
The four walls surrounding the singer represent his life and everything he has gone through.

They are my best friends
These walls have kept his secrets safe, and are the only ones who truly know about the artist's past.

Been keepin' all my past
The singer's past actions have been kept hidden within these walls, and no one else knows about them.

Locked deep inside
The singer's past is locked away deep inside him, and he has never shared it with anyone.

No one will ever know
The singer believes that no one will ever find out about his past actions, as long as the walls stay silent.

All those things I did so long ago
The artist is referring to his past mistakes and regrets, which he wants to keep hidden from the rest of the world.

I've been runnin', tryin' to hide from yesterday
The artist has been trying to escape the memories of his past and avoid confronting his mistakes.

But there's just no need
Despite his efforts to hide from his past, the singer realizes that it's not necessary to run from it anymore.

I know my secret's safe
The singer is confident that his secrets will remain safe as long as the walls of his old house remain silent.

They stood every storm
The walls of the house have endured every challenge and obstacle that has come their way.

Those long, cold winter nights
The artist has experienced many difficult times, and the walls of his old house have kept him warm and protected during those times.

They kept us warm
The walls of the house provided comfort and warmth during difficult times in the artist's life.

Holdin' back the rain
The walls kept the singer dry and protected during storms and rain.

Not even the winds of change
The artist's life has gone through many changes, but the walls of his old house have remained strong and unchanged.

Could ever blow 'em down
The walls are indestructible, and nothing can destroy them or the memories they hold.

Yeah, we're on solid ground
The singer and the walls of his old house are firmly grounded and stable, despite the chaos and changes in the world around them.

They've stood the test of time
The walls of the house have remained unchanged and have stood strong through the many years and challenges they have faced.

Never let me down
The walls have always been there for the artist, providing comfort and safety when he needed it most.

I've put it all behind me
The artist has moved on from his past mistakes and regrets.

They remind me
Despite moving on, the walls remind the singer of where he's been and what he's been through.

I'm on shaky ground
The singer is not sure if his past actions will come back to haunt him or if he has truly moved on.

Yeah, I'd be a lonely man
If his secrets ever came to light, the artist would be left alone and abandoned by those he loves.
