Lyrics
V1. How am I supposed to live without you? How am I supposed to carry on? Something deep inside my heart is missing. How did everything turn out so wrong? Now I, I'm faced with all the memories of loving you and what it could have been.
Ch. Should've been me when you wake up every morning. Should've been me that you kiss on your way to work. I hope you're happy with my substitute. There's nothing that I wouldn't have done for you. And it should've been me.
V2. Should've been me with that ring upon my finger. Should've been me as you put the kids to bed. Should've been me at your family reunion. Should've been me. How could I misread? And I, I will always wonder why loving you was never enough.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: Do you ever think about me and regret the decisions you made? I can see that you're happy so I'll say that I'm not sad it's this way.
(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro: and it should've been me.
