If I'da stayed back home Never spread my wings Let you build that house Let you buy that ring If I'da put down my dreams to put you first I coulda been her
If I'da dyed my hair If I'da lost that weight If I'da worn that dress And let you change my name I'd still be wakin' up in your T-shirt I coulda been her
If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably coulda made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screamin' There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin' If I'da buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me
No, it wouldn't be me To let you get away With every word you'd twist And every bed you made If I'da just hung around, not knowin' my worth I could've been her
If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably coulda made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screamin' There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin' If I'da buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me
If I'da just gave up The standards I have Let you hit your knees And beg me on back If I'da just sold my soul for a love that cheap I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me
