It could have been me sitting in that front pew
It could have been me crying tears for you
It could have been me taking you to your final place of rest
It could have been me clutching the folded flag to my chest

It could have been me going home all alone
It could have been me realizing that you're really gone
It could have been me laying alone in our bed
It could have been me staring at the pillow where you used to lay your head

It could have been me having to grow old without you
It could have been me not wanting to believe that it's true
It could have been me not having you here
It could have been me living my biggest fear
