Could've Been Me Lyrics

Eleven months since we said goodbye

All because I couldn't chase the high

Derived from breadcrumbs I thought led to love

I was fighting all my feelings

While you were fighting all your demons

And for reasons I can't explain

I still thought I could be enough

Does she dance on tables like I wouldn't do

I'm sure she might be wild enough for you

But she can never take my place

Cause you'll always feel the aftertaste

And every time you kiss her face

Your heart breaks a little more

And every time you turn around

You hope that I'll be there somehow

'Cause when you look at her

All that you can see

Is that should've been me

Oh, that should've been me

(That should've been me)

We spent the holidays together

But now I can't help but wonder

If it was only 'cause you knew

We both had no one else

(No one else)

Both our families were estranged

Mine would call me by the name

That caused me more shame than I'd ever felt

I bet she's spending Christmas Eve drunk drivin'

(Ahhh)

While I'm spending winter Christmas Carolinin'

But she can never take my place

Cause you'll always feel the aftertaste

And every time you kiss her face

Your heart breaks a little more

And every time you turn around

You hope that I'll be there somehow

'Cause when you look at her

All that you can see

Is that should've been me

Oh, that should've been me

(That should've been me)

But I could never take her place

'Cause I would never play your games

But I see her making my mistakes

And my heart just breaks for her

And every time you turn around

I'll be nowhere to be found

Cause when I look at her

All that I can see

Is that could've been me

Oh, that could've been me

(That could've been me)

She's enough for you

But everything that I never wanna be

But that could have been me

And I'm happy to be me
