I think of you now and then
But I remember when
Love was new and you were mine, my love
So why should we pretend
We were lovers but now we're friends
I don't wanna say goodbye to you again, my love
It should have been me
That's lovin' you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That's holdin' you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go, my love
What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now, you believe our love to grow
I don't wanna say goodbye to you again, my love
It should have been me
That's holdin' you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's lovin' you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go
My love, how would I survive with another broken heart
On my own again when I need a friend
To help me find a place to start
Oh, it should have been me
That's holdin' you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That's lovin' you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go, my love, my love
