[00:00.00]It Could Have Been Better - Joan Armatrading
[00:22.72]I was very sad last night
[00:27.46]You came by
[00:28.82]I was so glad though sadness covered
[00:33.53]The smile I kept for you
[00:39.68]I was waiting for the cloud to pass over
[00:48.79]Then I could show my love
[00:58.56]You could have made me laugh if you'd stayed
[01:04.04]But you left
[01:06.75]I was more confused than I was before you came
[01:14.99]I was frightened
[01:18.64]I saw insanity and tears
[01:23.44]I shouted for you to stay
[01:26.42]It could have been better
[01:28.90]If you had held my hand
[01:31.27]And smiled at me
[01:34.40]Or questioned why
[01:37.38]My face was so distorted
[02:02.68]I'm back in the sunlight again
[02:06.77]Oh I'm so glad
[02:10.65]It's only joy I wanna give to you
[02:18.77]Sometimes I feel lost and desperate
[02:24.60]Please forgive me
[02:27.85]If I show no sign of reasoning
[02:37.73]Or consideration
[02:43.96]In my bleaker times
