My baby should've been the one
Last night I was so scared
I couldn't close my eyes
You still live in me
Somehow I made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day
Once again
I know someone's in your heart
It's pulling me apart
But I guess I'm the one to blame
(It's so hard)
And it's so hard
(So hard)
Holding back the tears, now you've disappeared
How I long to hold you near
Oh, I should've been the one who's with you now
Should been the one that's feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh, I should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
I've lost you now
I see you laughing out loud, standing in a crowd
The same crowd I used to know
But it's too late now to change anything, I've lost everything
Gotta learn to let you go
Oh, I should've been the one who's with you now
Should been the one that's feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh, I should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
I've lost you now
I should've been the light in your eyes
(Should've been the light)
Should've been the fire in your smile
(Should've been the fire)
I should've been your spirit and your guide
I wonder do you think of me
(Do you think of me)
Maybe you shed a tear for me
(Shed a tear for me)
I realize, I paid the price
But nothing's gonna change the way I feel for you
Oh, I should've been the one who's with you now
Should been the one that's feeling proud
Girl, I failed you now
Should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
I've lost you now
I know I let you down, baby, had to fool around
Oh, I should've been the one who's with you now
Should been the one that's feeling proud, I failed you now
I should've read the signs, baby, should've realized
Oh, I should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
I've lost you now
