I haven’t stopped thinking about you
Has it really been this long
Two years and an ocean between us
And I don’t know
Where it all went wrong
I know I coulda kissed you harder
And yea you coulda followed through
Shoulda talked a little bit softer
But we meant
Every I love you
I don’t know what this is or what it isn’t
But it feels like we’ve got unfinished business
Cause we left
Blood on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
A bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
Looks like you’re on the mend
And I’m on the bottle
We folded our hands with
Money on the table
Tried moving on but I keep coming back again
To what could’ve been
A couple more simple I’m sorry’s
A little less tryin’ to be right
I wonder how many good mornings
We wasted
Cause we didn’t say good night
One touch before we fell asleep
Just before our love was out of reach
Could’ve been enough could’ve saved us from this loneliness
Cause we left
Blood on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
A bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
Looks like you’re on the mend
And I’m on the bottle
We folded our hands with
Money on the table
Tired moving on but I keep coming back again
To what could’ve been
What could’ve been
What could’ve been
I thought I’d see it clearly from a distance
But it still feels like we’ve got unfinished business
Cause baby we left
Blood on the tracks
Sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills
A bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
Looks like you’re on the mend
And I’m on the bottle
We folded our hands with
Money on the table
Tired moving on but I keep coming back again
To what could’ve been
What could’ve been
What could’ve been
Should’ve been
Do you still wonder
Still wonder
What could’ve been

[@eio4528]

This one hurt almost immediately. No matter how long it's been it still hurts.

[@tdbn4599]

Prophetic. Now us fans are left to wonder "What could've been".

[@mandlclark]

It's a shame these folks couldn't put their differences aside and keep making music together. I absolutely love their music.

[@scotts8284]

I've said the same, sooo many times. Especially in the current times. Their value to their audience is much more than they realize. Let's hope for the best to all of them. And maybe,,,,, a revival of inspiration for them, to us. And they gift us with what they were blessed with. ✌❤🤞

[@mmmmm824]

What Could've Been

[@MIKECNW]

@@scotts8284 I;m gonna bet they realized their value. Probblem was both Colbie & Justin couldn't work out their differences and they may have had issues before that for all we know. Don't think Jason & Nelly wanted the band to dissolve anymore that we did. These things happen sometimes and Colbie I guess is still in Nashville and Justin returned to LA and put out new music not long afterwards. Some of the songs he wrote were probably about you know who and I even discovered another artist through him named Anuhea, where he joined her in a song called Forever Summer. Though they recorded it before GW

[@Kyledillon]

That's news to me. But hey im just grateful what songs they were able to put out. Love

[@FrankBayer-nh4ce]

You say it bro.

[@marvinm8446]

I absolutely love their music.

[@jackmyers8687]

This is what we need from music. Real emotion. True message in the lyrics. No gimics. No weird music videos. No swearing or unintelligible lyrics. Not just a repeat of the same terrible lines over and over till there stuck in our heads. Just pure music that's trying to help us understand what we're all feeling.

[@craighanke9083]

What a shame that this group broke up. They had outstanding vocals and guitar works. Hopefully they can make amends.

[@dgstamper1]

"The Band Was Always The Most Important Thing" Stevie Nicks explained how hard it was for her and Lindsey and the band when their relationship ended. "But no one was going to Quit". The band was the most important thing" . You guys are literally a harmonic blend of magic. Perfect harmonies and undoubtedly perfect chemistry musically. Put your foolish pride aside and get your butts back together. This can't be the end of the beginning of your story, Period!!

[@kimberlyjaneoc]

How can you sing in a band with your ex...No F'ing way

[@nicolegrosse8685]

Cause if you have a friendship with your ex like me and my ex. We were friends before the relationship and after it.

[@brianzaborowski2724]

What could've been was they missed the opportunity to be one hell of a great band today! Those harmonies when they all join in is what heaven must sound like, soooooo fantastic!!

[@jeremyheartriter2.063]

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

This band could’ve gone places. Shame they gave up.

[@tehjeebabtahi2759]

It's so refreshing to listen music as pure as this. No sexual references, no profanity, just four people making brilliant music. Great job guys. EDIT: sorry piano guy. My bad, FIVE people making brilliant music. :)

If it doesn't come back if was never yours...That saying is so true and I know that I didn't quote it the right way but we have all been through it. Some lovers go back and live happily ever after,Whatever that is😅😅. My children mean more to me than any other man. I'm 46 yrs old and I am seeing someone who I never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought of...we knew one another in high school and I am falling ,BIG TIME. Why am I DOING this,Lol. God bless everyone and I pray you will find or get back together with your True Love.

[@cappy5634]

It still hurts so bad. My wife and I are high school sweethearts. Been with her 24 out of my 40 years and God im dying. I wished I had known how to be a better partner when I was younger...or rather have met her now.

[@shanecanterbury8968]

What if you’re the one who caused the pain. Cause your spouse made loving you seem like a chore. Made loving you seem impossible. I messed up and realized that even my wife who made loving me so hard. Is still the one I want. Crazy!!!!

[@cappy5634]

Colbie Cailat voice is still on point after all these years. it stills makes me feel that confort nostalgic feeling while listen to her

[@johnmac9572]

Is that Colbie ? Great to hear her again , thought she disappeared ! Great band too , never heard of them till now.

[@kennethg5460]

She is only 34 years old. How is she supposed to sound?Lol! Her first album came out 13 years ago when she 21 years old.

[@AnimeGirl8792]

John Mac she kind of did she took a break and return as a band. The pop scene is over saturated with new people so she did her own time with a label now she doing her own thing with a smaller one I’m assuming.

[@linkedinlove106]

No matter how many songs I like, this song and Never Getting Over You the best. They never get old!

[@Lannikai]

I've watched this video again and again. If there were ever voices that should come together. Thank you so very much for giving us such a wonderful experience.

[@WolfQuantum]

I come back to this every so often. Love this acoustic version. Beautiful song in that sad, but powerful way. We need more real, rich, music like this. Music to actually take the time to listen to. Not just background music for rushing around.

What could have been? I admit I live under a shell related to music, But tonight I discovered the amazing harmony and music of GONE WEST. I love new artist and watch AGT, IDOL, X factor for the story and from what I can tell... I'm saddened to hear this amazing group is no longer? WHAT? Let me tell you that you all have a gift and it was heavenly. There are angels among us... and you all sung with your soul. Unlike many that misuse their gift from GOD. You magnified that gift and am will cherish the music you produced. Just found a great soothing tone and melody that I could listen to forever. As a married person, there and many days you feel like you are at your ropes end... but trust me, forgive and show love. Love isn't just about receiving it from your significant other... its about giving it too. The greatest example of Love (Lord JESUS CHRIST) of all was the best at FORGIVENESS too. It encompasses a key ingredient of LOVE. The world is a rocky place with high expectations. I hope you can work out the differences and allow us to follow your journey again. If not, I'll be gratfeul to have found such great artist and songs sung from your soul. Thank you.
