SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU
the way you brushed your hair
from those big brown eyes I swear
stole my heart each time what a beautiful crime
it’s easy now to understand how I fell in love
but sometimes love is not enough
***
there was something in your smile
made me feel like i
was in an endless summer day yeah we had it made
it’s easy now to understand how I fell in love
but sometimes love is not enough
***
it should have been you waking me in bed
it should have been you but it’s your memory instead
now regret is all I get to hold on to
it should have been you
***
i’m not saying we should make another run
no we tried that once, way too many times
i can’t keep my heart from wishin’ what it wants
lord knows i don’t keep you off my mind
***
it should have been you chasing dreams with me
it should have been you but now i’m breaking at the seams
Now regret is all I get to hold on to
it should have been you, it should have been you
now regret is all I get to hold on to
