It Should Have Been Me

I think of you now and then
 but i remember when love was new
 and you were mine, my love
 so why would we pretend
 we were lovers and now we're friends
 i don't want to say goodbye to you
 again, my love
 [chorus:]
 it should have been me
 that's lovin' you instead of someone else
 i needed you but how was i to know
 it should have been me
 that's holding you through all the lonely nights
 i knew that i should never let you go,
 my love
 What we once had is gone
 no tears, no right, no wrong
 it could never be the same again, my love
 the more we see the less we know
 now you believe our love will grow
 i don't want to say goodbye to you again,
 my love
 [chorus]
 My love, how would i survive
 with another broken heart
 on my own again
 when i need a friend
 to help me find a place to start
 [chorus]
