It Should Have Been Me

There's a corner in your mind, a memory so deep
A place you hold inside your heart, I could never reach.
A side of you I'll never get to see;
It should have been me.

There's a shadow in your room, a stranger in my sheets
A ghost that lingers on your lips, forever haunting me.
The part of you I'll never get to be;
It should have been me.

It should have been me that took you by the hand.
It should have been me that walked you up the stairs.
It should have been me. The truth that can't be changed.
Me: your love in second place.

Did he lay there at your side, kiss you soft and sweet
Hold you there inside his arms, until you fell asleep?
The moment that I'll never get to be;
It should have been me.

It should have been me.
