He could've been a movie star
Coulda been a country music icon
He could've been a winner it's a shame
Coulda been a billionaire
Selling off the company's shares
He could've been a player in the game
I can see him fade like a video that's been overplayed

And am I walkin' down a dead end street every night
magnifying him under every street light
Should I walk away?
He can't see reality
Tired of livin' in a fantasy
I'm in love with the man he could be

I know he's in the dark
tryin' to find himself lookin' for a fresh start
He has a good heart and he's a good man
My head's still in the sand
With his split personality
You get a boyfriend plus the other man
He'll wake up too late
I've passed my use by date

And am I walkin' down a dead end street every night
magnifying him under every street light
Should I walk away?
He can't see reality
Tired of livin' in a fantasy
I'm in love with the man... he could be

(Solo)

And am I walkin' down a dead end street every day
Wishin' and a hopin' he would change
Fool that I am
He can't see reality
Tired of livin' in his fantasy
I'm in love with the man he could be
I'm in love with the man oh oh oh!
He could be, he could be
Well I'm walkin' he's still talkin
