So it’s all been done and you are long gone.
Now that we are not together, talking to you seems strange but strangely comforting.
Maybe it’s because you know me as much as I know me and I know you as much as you wish she does.
However, we prefer having each other as past-tense, don’t we?
After all, she’s your present-perfect.
(English grammar metaphor somehow sounds creative and make sense)
BUT it should have been me.
It should have been me.
By 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 defense, 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 her down the aisle in her brilliant wedding dress
When the ring is on your finger, and she wants you to get undressed
Will she fall into your arms, will you set her spirit free, will she 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
Truth hurts…OUCH
