Song with perfect modals
Nobody does it better than myself
I’m sorry
I’m not afraid to say
I wish I could take it back but I can’t
You’re in so much pain
I blamed you when things didn’t go my way
If I didn’t, you’d be here
If I didn’t fight back, I’d have no fear
If I took another path
Things would be so different, but they’re not
I could’ve just done what I was told (could have just done)
Maybe I should have turned silver into gold
But in front of you, I was cold
Nobody does it better than myself
I’m sorry
I’m not afraid to say
I wish I could take it back but I can’t
You brought out the best in me
And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream
I thought we were indestructible
I never imagined we could fall
Do you wanna know how to make god laugh?
Tell him your plans
Fill it up with Warhols, it would be so cool
Could’ve gone riding stallions in the countryside (could have gone)
With a pack of great things
Kissing eye to eye
Run naked on the beach, all soaking wet
We could’ve climbed a mountain (could have climbed)
Seen a perfect sunrise
Written our names across the sky
We could’ve got ourselves arrested and sort them out (could have got)
We could’ve lived like crazy til’ the day we die (could have lived)
Instead I made you cry
Nobody does it better than myself
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry
Je suis désolée
I wish I could take it back but I can’t
Nobody does it better than myself
I’m sorry
I’m not ashamed to say
I wish I could have you back, maybe one day,
Or not
