Should Have Been Me

Andreas Johnson

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
