  • No words appear before me in the aftermath
    Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears
    Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness
    'Cause it's all over now, all out to sea

    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
    You were bigger than the whole sky
    You were more than just a short time
    And I've got a lot to pine about
    I've got a lot to live without
    I'm never gonna meet
    What could've been, would've been
    What should've been you
    What could've been, would've been you

    Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia?
    Did some force take you because I didn't pray?
    Every single thing to come has turned into ashes
    'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be
    So I'll say words I don't believe

    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
    You were bigger than the whole sky
    You were more than just a short time
    And I've got a lot to pine about
    I've got a lot to live without
    I'm never gonna meet
    What could've been, would've been
    What should've been you

    (What could've been, would've been)
    (What could've been, would've been)
    What could've been, would've been
    What should've been you
    (What could've been, would've been)
    What could've been, would've been you
    (Could've been, would've been)
    (Could've been, would've been)

    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
    You were bigger than the whole sky
    You were more than just a short time
    And I've got a lot to pine about
    I've got a lot to live without
    I'm never gonna meet
    What could've been, would've been
    What should've been you Writer/s: Jack Michael Antonoff, Taylor Alison Swift
