My baby, should've been the one
Last night I was so scared
Some how I made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day, once again
I know someone's in your heart
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
Oh I should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
I see you laughing out loud
The same crowd I used to know
But it's too late now to change anything
Gotta learn to let you go
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 fell for you
Oh I should've been the one who's with you now
Should've been the one who's feeling proud
Should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realize
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 who's feeling proud
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 know I let you down, baby had to fool around
