Should've Been You Lyrics

Alcohol and confidence, my heavy heart goes wild

Wherewithal and consequence escape me as I dial

Guess I didn't know I needed it til it was gone for years

Call to say I'm six drinks deep, and I need you to hear

That I miss you, and I'm sorry

It should've been you

But my dumb ass thought best to walk away

It should've been you

That I chased down and asked to take my name

It should've been you

And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed

Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew

That it should've been

Yeah it should've been you

Surely when I'm sober, I'll wish I'd not grabbed the phone

But now I'm outside your window, contemplating throwing stones

Hoping I might get your attention, that you'll come out and start confessing

That we should pick it up where we left it

So poetic, so pathetic

And it's stupid to put you through this

And I know me showing up might leave you ruined, but

It should've been you

But my dumb ass thought best to walk away

It should've been you

That I chased down and asked to take my name

It should've been you

And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed

Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew

That it should've been

Yeah it should've been you

It could've been real, it could've been us

I had it all and passed it up

So how can I heal, when you were the one?

And I'm left to live with all this love

Can't live with all this love

It should've been you

But my dumb ass thought best to walk away

It should've been you

That I chased down and asked to take my name

It should've been you

And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed

Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew

That it should've been

Yeah it should've been you
