I'm gonna start again This world I painted black Just needs some colour I'm gonna live my life like the other Person I should have been I ain't tappin' out, no no no no To this dark and twisted dream That's kept me living I pray to my soul To keep this fire burning And when it does I'm gonna let it shine I'll make the best of this life I've got left Got no time for no regrets Gonna show you just what I can be The person I should have been And it might take time, take time 'Cause this life has taken it right out of me I wanna change my perspective of reality Be a much better version of me The person I should have been I make the best of this life I've got left I put my sincerity to the test Wake up my senses finally The water washes me clean What shouldn't have been has all been done If I don't get a grip Then the world has won Making me think that I'll never be The person I should have been Who am I now? A lonely man that's fallen down No I can't change The past that time has all burned out But I know somewhere inside of me Is the person that I could have been Make the best of this life I got left Got no time for no regrets Gonna show you just what I can be The person I should have been What shouldn't have been has all been done If I don't get a grip Then the world has won Make me think that I'll never be The person I could have been I said the person, person I could have been I said the person, person I could have been Oh oh, the person I could have been I said the person, person I could have been Oh oh oh oh [the person I should have been] La la la la la la la, the person I could have been

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
