[Verse 1]
I could be wrapped around your arms instead of being lonely
We could be gazing at the stars but now it feels just like I
Wandered off into a room and closed the door behind me
I never gave the key to you, even though I wanted to

[Verse 2]
I should be trying something new but now my body's aching
I'm tired of dwelling in the dark, it's just that my heart can't take it
I didn't know what it would cost me when I let you go
I feel alone, and I'm just singin', mmh, mmh-hm-hm

[Chorus]
It should have been you
Another time, another place I just know, mmh-hm-hm
It could have been you
What a crime and what a shame to let go, mmh-hm-hm
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
It should have been you

[Verse 3]
I could be driving to your place but now the ground is shaking
Could be a phase but it feels like it'll never go away
Until we make up, I can't be myself
I never knew how much I needed you, mmh-hm-hm
[Chorus]
It should have been you
Another time, another place I just know, mmh-hm-hm
It could have been you
What a crime and what a shame to let you go, mmh-hm-hm
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
'Cause it should have been you
It should have been you

[Bridge]
I could be wrapped around your arms instead of being lonely

[Chorus]
It should have been you
Another time, another place I just know
You could have been the one who made me feel home
What a crime and what a shame to let go, ooh-ooh-ooh
It should have been you
Another time, another place I just know
You could have been the one who made me feel at home
What a crime and what a shame to let you go
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
It should have been you
