Should Have Been Me

Lay down by my side
The truth won't hurt me now
Even in this last goodbye
There is beauty we can't deny
Maybe, maybe, maybe it's a crime, dear
Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see
Why you give yourself away

When it should have been me
Should have been my love
It should have been me
Should have been my kind of love

Escape with me tonight
This moment is all there is
When the morning comes we're cast aside
Now there's farewell in every kiss
You stumble through emotions
With great and deep concern
You cross my line of defence
You know how weakness
Makes me yearn
Then you throw my love away
Afraid of what you see
Hell, you ought to know by now

It should have been me
Should have been my love
It should have been me
Should have been my kind of love

When you walk beside him down the aisle
in your brilliant wedding dress
When the ring is on your finger
And he wants you to get undressed
Will you fall into his arms
will you set his spirit free
will he ever get to know
it should have been me
Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm alone here
Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see
When you give yourself away

It should have been me
should have been my love
It should have been me
should have been my kind of love
