From the recording Could It Be
Shan had this old girlfriend that said this man told her that he was taking a trip to Europe and wanted to know if she would like to go. Shan, figured her answered would be "no"... Shan figured wrong. This song came from that situation.
All I can say is...
I'm glad she went...

Lyrics
COULD IT BE
Sittin’ here alone tonight
Staring up at the stars
Started counting
But blurred my sight
So I headed for the bar
Hadn’t heard from you
In many days
And I wonder where you are
Could it be that you would only say
I don’t love you anymore
You could say most anything to me
I would listen to you
But like a stab through my lonely heart
Say those words
I don’t love you
Could it be that you’re on a trip
To visit an old family friend
To think of more would cause my mind to slip
It would bring me to my end
Thinking about all the things we did
The fun, the laughter that we had
I’m the one that caused you to run
You’re the one who made me sad
Here I sit on this barstool
Feeling sorry for myself
Contemplating just what to do
With this life that I have left
You could say most anything to me
I would listen to you
But like a stab through my lonely heart
Say those words
I don’t love you
