It Should've Been Me

Not too loud Not too quiet Don't be proud Don't be shy It's rude to stare Oh, do I dare? Keep it bold Don't be timid Not too slow Make it quick It's so unfair I'm almost there Lost in a fantasy My very own pandora's box Swarmed by my jealousy I hope that it doesn't show Ire dipped in flattery Nobody's been as close as me I spilled my guts And all for what? It should've been me You should have picked me from the start And after everything I've done for you You don't think it's bizarre? It should've been me Where do you think I got my spark? I chiseled down my personality 'Til it's a work of art There you are Can't they see it? I'm in awe Could it be? It's rude to stare Yes, I'm aware! What a sight Nearly perfect You alright? Does it hurt? I will be there You know I care! Caught in my fantasies Don't look inside pandora's box Push down the jealousy No, nobody needs to know Please don't think less of me! I'm but a lonely soul, you see Oh, what a shame I've gone insane It should've been me I oughta be there by your side Just think of all the possibilities that we could bring to life It should've been me I think I need you to survive So now it's your responsibility to make me stay alive Trapped in this travesty You've opened up pandora's box Struck by reality It's time to wrap up the show Yes, it is how it seems I'm full of animosity And here I am Where do you stand? It could've been me Although I'm better than the rest My polarizing rationality just couldn't pass the test It could've been me But I'm unsure of my intent Surely my fragile hospitality would shatter from the stress! It shouldn't be me And here I thought I was above But now it's clear to me you saw that I'm unworthy of your love It shouldn't be me And I'm okay with that because I truly only want the best for you And I am not the one It couldn't be me It should've been me
