"That Could Be Me" lyrics

Tiptoed around, I tried to play it cool
My head in the ground, so I missed every shot at you
And they ricocheted, now they're lodged in my brain
It's the risk that I'm willing to take
Let myself down, spent time fantasizing over
Where we'd be now, but now she's pullin' you closer
I'm screamin' out, and it kills me over and over
Over and over

That could be me there kissin' your mouth
We're talking too loud, saying, "Can we leave now?"
That could be me giving too much
I'm spilling my guts, now we're callin' it love
That could be me steamin' up your backseat
Rip out my heart, throw it out on the concrete, baby
That could be me, that could be me

You're goin' out, and I just write songs about you
Without a doubt, you couldn't care less what I do
You're where it's loud, lockin' eyes in a crowd
Someone's name in your mouth that's not mine

I can be perfect and pretty, never too much, not too clingy
But I can't speak when you're near me, and I just can't let you go

That could be me there kissin' your mouth
We're talking too loud, saying, "Can we leave now?"
That could be me giving too much
I'm spilling my guts, now we're callin' it love
That could be me steamin' up your backseat
Rip out my heart, throw it out on the concrete, baby
That could be me, that could be me

I can't help, it's sick and twisted
Her hands 'round your neck, you're kissin'
Pray to you, you're my religion
And I want it like that, oh
Your hands on her waist, you're closer
Watch you make out on your sofa
Kill me slowly, three times over
That should be me, I told ya
I can't help, it's sick and twisted (Sick and twisted)
Her hands 'round your neck, you're kissin'
Pray to you, you're my religion
And I want it like that, yeah I want it like
Your hands on her waist, you're closer
Watch you make out on your sofa
Kill me slowly, three times over
That should be me, I told ya

That could be me there kissin' your mouth
We're talking too loud, saying, "Can we leave now?"
That could be me giving too much
I'm spilling my guts, now we're callin' it love
That could be me steamin' up your backseat
Rip out my heart, throw it out on the concrete, baby
That could be me, that could be me
