Lyrics of Should've been the one

Writers: mclaughlin/james
My baby, should've been the one
Last night i was so scared i couldn't close my eyes
You still live in me
Some how i made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day, once again
I know someone's in your heart, it's pulling me apart
But i guess i'm the one to blame (it's so hard)
And it's so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now you've dissapeared
How i long to hold you near
Chorus:
Oh i should've been the one who's with you now
Should've been the one that's feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh i should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realise
I've lost you now
I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd
The same crowd i used to know
But it's too late now to change anything
I've lost everything
Gotta learn to let you go
Chorus
I should've been the light in your eyes (should've been the light)
Should've been the fire in your smile (should've been the fire)
I should've been your spirit and your guide
I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me?)
Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me)
I realise i paid the price but nothing's gonna change the way i fell for
You
Oh i should've been the one who's with you now
Should've been the one who's feeling proud
Girl i've failed you now
Should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realise
I've lost you now
I know i let you down, baby had to fool around
Oh i should've been the one who's with you now
Should've been the one who's feeling proud
I failed you now
I should've read the signs, baby should've realised
Oh i should've read the signs in your eyes
Should've had the sense to realise
I've lost you now
I know i let you down, baby had to fool around.
