Wish It Were You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I saw you with her I couldn't bear it
Yet I wonder why
Shouldn't matter
'Cause I'm with somebody new
As I lay here next to him
I swear it can't be happening
The memories race on by
The ones of you and I
When you held her hand
And kissed her face
Made me miss the times
We did the same
But does it matter?
Will never matter what I say
That could've been me
This would've been you
How can a love so deep slip through
The cracks in our hearts will remain
Like the tears that are stained black and blue
That should be me
I wish it were you
But now there's nothing we can do
We had to give up
Love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you
Believe me when I say
I've tried to forget the day
When we first laid eyes on each other
Never felt that way for another
It's not like you were superman
But your power over me was all I had
I tell myself to stop and breathe
Or else these thoughts take over me
Sometimes I wish we had a chance
Just one more kiss or one more dance
But doesn't matter
Will never matter what I say
That could've been me
This would've been you
How can a love so deep slip through
The cracks in our hearts will remain
Like the tears that are stained black and blue
That should be me
I wish it were you
But now there's nothing we can do
We had to give up
Love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you
It hurts to know
She has you now 'cause I let go
Replay the past
Holding on to all that's left
Can't help it
Been selfish
How'd love end like this?
Every time I close my eyes at night
I think about me
Laying with you
But it doesn't matter now
I've got nothing else to lose
That could've been me
This would've been you
How can a love so deep slip through
The cracks in our hearts will remain
Like the tears that are stained black and blue
That should be me
I wish it were you
But now there's nothing we can do
We had to give up
Love just wasn't enough
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you
I wish it were you
I wish it were you
If I had to tell the truth
I wish it were you
