SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE
you should be living
I'd give back the days you were waiting
to open my eyes & wipe off the dust
you should have been mine
not just for a glimmer...
it took me so long to finally surrender
with every breath, with every gaze
don't you think I'd trade his life for yours?
I would have given anything for you
thats why I let you turn & walk away
now I live forever with this ache
you should have been mine
that's what you told me
then I realized he was nothing
between every breath, between every kiss
should have been mine
from the beginning
I'll move on, never knowing
what could have been, what should have been
don't you think I'd trade his life for yours?
I would have given anything for you
thats why I let you turn & walk away
now I live forever with this ache
you should have been mine
you should be living
I'd give back the days you were waiting
to open my eyes & wipe off the dust
