Story Behind The Song
I got a phone call one day from the producer and said he got word that Rhianna was looking for records and someone was suppose to walk this record into the A&R. The the middle man, wanted to date the singer and because she said no, he didnt want to walk the song in any more. But once I heard the beat I knew it can go for many artist, Rhianna, Rita Ora, Beyonce etc..So if it can work for them I know it can work for Christina Milian

Lyrics
What could of been
Verse one
I don't know where I been
But im ready for a change this time ill let it all go
I know that people make mistakes I know you want me to break
This time I'm gonna stand my ground you have my word
Ain't nothing you can say that's gonna change my mind
Now I can see before I was blind I rushed it all before
Now I'll take my time
enough is never enough
everything I do, I do for you
you try to go back, you try to be that
but still Im losing you
Hook (2x)
What could of been could of been
Everything that you could of had
But you gave it all up
But you shouldn't of treated me
so bad
That I had time to find another one
Verse Two
How Can I believe any word he said
This and that
Always saying please baby take me back
This is wack
Knew you was a fraud but your now the past
This a fact
I'm going my separate ways
You and I became a game of dominos
I don't understand how you just let me go
made your bed now lie in it
left me boy Im fine with it
the games you played Im tired of it
ooh, ooh, enough is never enough
everything I do, I do for you
you try to go back, you try to be that
but still Im losing you
Repeat Hook:
Bridge
I'm at a point of my life no return
You had your chance to get by but you didn't learn
What should i do ..i ask myself
Your love became a sickness, bad for health
I don't want to go back to the days
When you said it would change
But it was all a game
How many times can a heart break
This time my hearts faint
No longer can my heart take
if this is real, can you tell me how you feel
cause you said, you said, you'd be there
I guess, Ill never know what we could of been
Repeat Hook
