Hey, Kid

My friend
I knew you'd take the blame
And you told me all the same
So now it's the end

When I ran
I didn't think about
The voices crying out
I swear it weren't the plan

So I said to myself
I would make it right
I would go and tell
And walk into the light
But you looked out for me
And now you'll take the seat
It should've been me
Yeah it should've been me

Hey kid
It's been some months now
And I'm sure you'd tell me how
You ain't accepted

That in life
We sometimes make mistakes
And I couldn't see you face
That fatal roll of dice

So i said to myself
I would make it right
I would go and tell
And walk into the light
Cos what happened in the street
It should've been me
So I will take the seat
And give your life free

Hello
Don't think me unkind
It's been a long time
And I've been slow

And now your
Your name's carved in stone
And I'm all alone
Fighting this war

Cos you couldn't look at me
When you took the seat
You knew it should've been
It should've been me
I could see it in your eyes
That you came to realise
That it should've been me
Yeah it should've been me

Hey, kid
Hey, kid
