Could've had it All
Provision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
believed it. Would last a lifetime. You were my everything. And
without sympathy. You got what you wanted.
When there’s nothing left inside. No emotion. Heartless and unkind.
Like devastation. You sell your virtue. Bring this pain upon you.
I never meant to fall. You could’ve had it all.
You sell your virtue. Bring this shame upon you.
Where are the values? There was no honesty.
Respecting your decision. To destroy this family.
Trying for months to repair, the uncertain damage.
When I’d done nothing wrong, I know you planned this.
