"I Love You" lyrics

She said I love you before she died
But she didn't say it to my face
I wasn't there when she said goodnight
She said it to someone else

This should have been me
This could have been me
This would have been me
If I wasn't afraid

This should have been you
This could have been you
This would have been you
But I chose to wait

Here is our story
Here is our plight
No happy ending
No lullaby
There ain't no glory
No hero, no knight
No dragon, no princess
No valour, no fight
I go to sleep alone
Every night I wake with a stone
Where once was a heart

I said I love you at the graveside
With a sense of loss I can't replace
I'd give the world for another try
She'll never be here to tell

This should have been us
This could have been us
This would have been us
But now it's too late

Here is our story
Here is our plight
No happy ending
No lullaby
There ain't no glory
No hero, no knight
No dragon, no princess
No valour, no fight
I go to sleep alone
Every night I wake with a stone
Where once was a heart

She said I love you before she died
But I never got to bid farewell
I wasn't there when she said goodnight
Now she'll say it to no one else
Again

I loved you then
I love you still
Be sure I did
I do, I will
I loved you then
I love you still
Be sure I did
I do, I will
