Should've Been Me

Do you remember we were sitting on the porch back at your place You said your boyfriend would be getting home pretty soon You said I'd better get going if I knew what is best for me But what's best for you? Maybe this is something we shouldn't have done in the first place She looked at me and said well boy I could have told you that Tell me why is it so damn hard just to leave some days Tell me why Won't you stay She's gonna raise her kids On the same street I grew up on Dressed in white, and dance all night To our song How'm I gonna say this Is just a dumb mistake when Every sign leads me back to your door Tonight In time, you'll see Man, it should've been me I remember when we hung out on my bed for the first date We couldn't be seen out in public but we made it work I probably should've known better not to think she'd leave him one day We'll make it work We'd make it work She's gonna raise her kids On the same street I grew up on Dressed in white, and dance all night To our song How'm I gonna say this Is just a dumb mistake when Every sign leads me back to your door Tonight In time, you'll see Man, it should've been me I could've loved you better But I never had the chance To make up for the fights we never had I guess I'm gonna miss every movie night we slept through And how you bite your lip through every kiss I gave you How am I gonna take this Dumb little mistake when Every memory floods back Into my head tonight But in time, you'll see So go and raise your kids On the same street I grew up on Dress in white, and dance all night To our song oh How'm I gonna say this Is just a dumb mistake when Every sign leads me back to your door Tonight In time, you'll see Man, it should've been me
