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 
    The way you held her hand and kissed her face 
 Made me miss the times we did the same 
 But doesn't matter, will never matter what I say   
 That could have been me 
 This would have been you 
 How could 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 
 Its 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 have been me 
 This would have been you 
 How could 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 thats 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 lying with you 
 But it doesn't matter now, I've got nothing else to lose   
 That could have been me 
 This would have been you 
 How could 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
