Should Have Been Me

Lay down by my side

The truth won't hurt me now

Even in this last goodbye

There is beauty we can't deny

Maybe, maybe, maybe it's a crime dear...

Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see

Why you give yourself away... when...

It should have been me

Should have been my love

It should have been me

Should have been my kind of love

Escape with me tonight

This moment is all there is

When the morning comes we're cast aside

Now there's farewell in every kiss

You stumble through emotions

With great and deep concern

You cross my line of defence

You know how weakness

Makes me yearn

Then you throw my love away

Afraid of what you see

Hell, you ought to know by now...

It should have been me

Should have been my love

It should have been me

Should have been my kind of love

When 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 undressed

Will you fall into his arms

Will you set his spirit free

Will he ever get to know

It should have been me...

Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm alone here

Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see

When you give yourself away...

It should have been me

Should have been my love

It should have been me

Should have been my kind of love
