Could've Been Her

If I'd stayed back home Never spread my wings Let you build that house Let you buy that ring If I'd put down my dreams to put you first I could've been her If I'd dyed my hair If I'd lost that weight If I'd worn that dress And let you change my name I'd still be wakin' up in your T-shirt I could've been her If I'd shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably could've made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screaming There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceiling If I'd buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I could've been her But that wouldn't be me No, it wouldn't be me To let you get away With every word you'd twist And every bed you made If I'd just hung around, not knowin' my worth I could've been her If I'd shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably could've made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screaming There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceiling If I'd buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I could've been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me If I'd just gave up The standards I have Let you hit your knees And beg me on back If I'd just sold my soul for a love that cheap I could've been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me
