Hunter Easton Hayes nació el 9 de septiembre de 1991 en Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Desde una temprana edad, destacó por su talento musical, alimentado sustancialmente por la rica influencia cultural de su entorno. Apenas a los dos años de edad, Hunter ya había recibido su primera guitarra de manos del actor Robert Duvall, lo que marcó el inicio de una vida inmersa en la música.
Durante sus años infantiles y adolescentes, Hunter ya había mostrado un talento increíble. Apareció en el programa de televisión "The Maury Show" a los cuatro años y en "America's Most Talented Kids" a los trece, asombrando al público con sus dotes como cantante y multiinstrumentista. Podía tocar más de 30 instrumentos y se ganó una reputación como un verdadero niño prodigio.
En 2010, después de mudarse a Nashville, firmó un contrato con Atlantic Records. En 2011, lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, "Hunter Hayes". El sencillo principal, "Storm Warning", recibió una favorable acogida, pero fue con "Wanted" que alcanzó notoriedad mundial. Esta canción no solo ascendió rápidamente en las listas de éxitos, sino que también le otorgó su primer número uno en el Billboard Hot Country Songs.
"Could've Been You" lyrics Hunter Hayes Lyrics "Could've Been You"
I said I love you to a stranger
Someone I didn't know
I didn't know
You've got a thing for sipping danger
And you take it everywhere you go
I know I fell fast
I know I fell hard
I know it felt good
Until it fell apart
I got my things and you got a new man
Talking to myself I understand that
I'm lucky cause it could've been you
Fucking up all of my plans
Stealing all the time on my hands
Want me to want you back but I can't
I'm slipping through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house
Yeah and out of my head
It's true
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
Somebody's gonna show up here someday
Make me forget I ever knew your name
They'll get the best of me
I'll be in such a better place
You could've been the one in the frame
You could've been the one to break the chain
You could've been the one but too late
I'm counting my stars
I'm lucky cause it could've been you
Fucking up all of my plans
Stealing all the time on my hands
Want me to want you back but I can't
I'm slipping through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house
Yeah and out of my head
It's true
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
Wasted dreams on wasted words
I loved them when I heard them
But I knew it wasn't true
Lucky me
Cause it could've been you
I'm lucky cause it could've been you
Fucking up all of my plans
Stealing all the time on my hands
Want me to want you back but I can't
I'm slipping through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house
Yeah and out of my head
It's true
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
But I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
I'm lucky
Cause it could've been you
