Should’ve Been Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I went through my list of friends and found
I had no one to tell
Of this overwhelming clean feeling
Strange serenity
[Pre-Chorus]
When I saw the girl looked just like me
And it broke my heart, the lengths you went to hold me
To get to have me, ’cause
[Chorus]
I haven’t given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn’t reach me
So you went into your memory
Relived all the ways you still want me
I haven’t given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn’t reach me
I’m sorry, it should’ve been me
[Verse 2]
I’d be going ’bout my day, until a hand
Would come and lift me out
And drop me in the middle of a labyrinth
Where I’d be stuck a while
[Pre-Chorus]
When I saw the girl looked just like me, I thought
Must be lonely loving someone
Trying to find their way out of a maze
Oh, I know
[Chorus]
I haven’t given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn’t reach me
So you went into your memory
Relived all the ways you still want me
I haven’t given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn’t reach me
I’m sorry, it should’ve been me
I’m sorry, it should’ve been me
Should’ve Been Me Lyrics (Italian)
[Strofa 1]
Beh, ho esaminato la mia lista di amici e scoperto
Che non avevo nessuno a cui dire
Di questa travolgente sensazione di pulito
Strana serenità
[Pre-Ritornello]
Quando ho visto che la ragazza era uguale a me
E mi ha spezzato il cuore, a quanto ti sei spinto per avermi
Per arrivare ad avermi, perché
[Ritornello]
Non ti ho dato ciò che ti serve
Mi volevi, ma non potevi raggiungermi
Quindi sei andato nei tuoi ricordi
Rivissuto tutti i modi in cui mi vuoi ancora
Non ti ho dato ciò che ti serve
Mi volevi, ma non potevi raggiungermi
Scusami, avrеi dovuto essere io
[Strofa 2]
Starеi passando la giornata, quando una mano
Sarebbe venuta a sollevarmi
E farmi cadere in mezzo ad un labirinto
Dove sarei bloccata per un po’
[Pre-Ritornello]
Quando ho visto che la ragazza era uguale a me, ho pensato
Ci si deve sentire soli ad amare qualcuno
Provando a cercare l’uscita da un labirinto
Oh, lo so
[Ritornello]
Non ti ho dato ciò che ti serve
Mi volevi, ma non potevi raggiungermi
Quindi sei andato nei tuoi ricordi
Rivissuto tutti i modi in cui mi vuoi ancora
Non ti ho dato ciò che ti serve
Mi volevi, ma non potevi raggiungermi
Scusami, avrei dovuto essere io
Scusami, avrei dovuto essere io
