Should Have Been Me

Lay down by my side
The truth won't hurt me now
And even in this last goodbye
There's beauty we can't denyNow maybe, maybe, maybe it's a crime, dear
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe I don't wanna see
Why you give yourself awayWhen it should have been me
It should have been my love
It should have been me
It should have been my kind of loveEscape with me tonight
This moment is all there is
When the morning comes, we're cast aside
Now there's farewell in every kissOh, you stumble through emotions
With great and deep concern
You cross my line of defense
You know how weakness makes me yearnThen you throw my love away
Afraid of what you see
Hell, you ought to know by nowIt should have been me
It should have been my love
It should have been me
It should have been my kind of loveWhen you walk beside him
Down the aisle in your brilliant wedding dress
When the ring is on your finger
And he wants you to get undressedWill you fall into his arms?
Will you set his spirit free?
Will he ever get to know
It should have been me?Now maybe, maybe, maybe I'm alone here
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe I don't wanna see
Why you give yourself awayWhen it should have been me
It should have been my love
It should have been me
It should have been my kind of loveIt should have been me
It should have been my love
It should have been me
It should have been my kind of love
