It Should Have Been Me - Andreas Johnson

I think of you now and then But i remember when love was new And you were mine, my love So why would we pretend We were lovers and now we're friends I don't want to say goodbye to you Again, my love [Chorus:] It should have been me That's lovin' you instead of someone else I needed you but how was i to know It should have been me That's holding you through all the lonely nights I knew that i should never let you go, My love What we once had is gone No tears, no right, no wrong It could never be the same again, my love The more we see the less we know Now you believe our love will grow I don't want to say goodbye to you again, My love [Chorus] My love, how would i survive With another broken heart On my own again When i need a friend To help me find a place to start [Chorus]

I saw my love walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned to me and gave me a smile Then the preacher, then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people, the people began to stand When I shouted "You know that it should have been me" Instead of her walking with you You know that it should have been me, oh baby Gettin' ready to marry you, darlin', darlin', darlin' You made a promise that we would never part Then you turned around and you broke my little heart Now you're standing there saying, "I do" Holding hands with somebody new You know that it should have been me Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me It should have been me Gettin' ready to say, "I do" Then the preacher, oh yeah The preacher asked that there be silence, please If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace Then I shouted, "It should have been me" You know that it should have been me You know that it should have been me Baby, how could you do this to me? Darlin', darlin', darlin' It should have been me Don't you know that it should have been me? You know that it should have been me It should have been me I've been faithful to you, baby, baby, baby It should have been me How could you do this to me? You know that it should have been me

Don't know this people, and their lonely eyes Walking through the crowd, with my head down We all got choices, gotta leave, some behind We all got reasons, to change our lives Why am I here? Still chasin' the lie? I should have been there, I should have tried, It's a long way back, from your head to your heart And I-I-I I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh My days are numbered, like a rainbow I'm walking the streets, in the same clothes Why am I here? Still chasin' the lie? I should have been there, I should have tried It's a long way back, from your head to your heart And I-I-I I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Ooooh...) I should have been there for you I should have been there for you (Ooooh...) I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Should have been there for you...) I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Should have been there for you...) I should have been there for you...
