It Should've Been Me

It Should've Been Me

I thought I was over you
But I guess it isn't true
I've been lying to my heart
And it's tearing me apart

How can I let go of you?
I just wish it wasn't true
No matter how hard I try
I can't say good-bye

I'm broken inside
My heart wants to cry
But I still have a smile
Just like a little child

Am I still in your heart?
Or have we drifted apart?
Tears roll down my face
I feel so out of place

You made me laugh
But that was the past
You wiped my tears
And fought my fears

You opened me up
And it was tough
You taught me love
That came from above

You were my strength
And I give you thanks
But still there's pain
My heart cannot tame

My heart breaks
How much more can it take?
She's with you
I wish it wasn't true

It should've been me
Happy and free
Your hand in mine
All of this time

Your arms embracing me
The way it should be
My lips touching yours
Missing you more

I see you with her
And my heart stirs
How can this be?
When it should've been me
