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
