When I saw you with her I
couldn't bear it yet I wonder why
shouldn't matter cause I'm with somebody new
As I lay here next to him
I swear it can't be happening
the memories race on by the ones of you and I

the way you held her hand and kissed her face
made me miss the times we did the same
but doesn't matter, will never matter what I say

that could have been me
this would have been you
how could a love so deep slip through
the cracks in our hearts will remain
like the tears that are stained black and blue
that should be me
I wish it were you
but now theres nothing we can do
we had to give up, love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you

Believe me when I say
I've tried to forget the day
when we first laid eyes on each other
never felt that way for another
its not like you were superman
but your power over me was all I had
I tell myself to stop and breathe or else
these thoughts take over me

Sometimes I wish we had a chance
just one more kiss or one more dance
but doesn't matter, will never matter what I say

that could have been me
this would have been you
how could a love so deep slip through
the cracks in our hearts will remain
like the tears that are stained black and blue
that should be me
I wish it were you
but now theres nothing we can do
we had to give up, love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you

It hurts to know she has you now cause I let go
replay the past holding on to all thats left
can't help it been selfish
how'd love end like this?
Every time I close my eyes at night
I think about me laying with you
but it doesn't matter now, I've got nothing else to lose

that could have been me
this would have been you
how could a love so deep slip through
the cracks in our hearts will remain
like the tears that are stained black and blue
that should be me
I wish it were you
but now theres nothing we can do
we had to give up, love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you
