Should've been the one

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’ve 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 realise,
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’ve 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 realise,
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 realise 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’ve been the one that’s feeling proud,
Girl I’ve failed you now.
Oh I should’ve read the signs in your eyes
Should’ve had the sense to realise,
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’ve been the one that’s feeling proud,
I failed you now.
(I should’ve read the signs baby, should’ve realised)
Oh I should’ve read the signs in your eyes
Should’ve had the sense to realise,
I’ve lost you now.
