"Should've Been You" lyrics

"Should've Been You"

I could tell you all the things I do for you
But it's no surprise and you just roll your eyes and say
"Here we go again, she's gonna moan again"

I should spare your love, just a thing or two
But you don't disguise it when I'm just white noise
And it's done before it begins, 'cause your temper's getting thin

But there's just one thing that I wanna know
Just one little thing before I go
Before I go

It's who takes care of me?
Tell me who takes care of me?
Should've been you
Should've been you

Do you realise? No you never will
'Cause your head's held high and you got your pride
I got a little of mine still
Yeah the bit you couldn't kill

I'll never blame you and I always will
I can't explain it but it hurts like Hell
And I'm feeling so alone
Yeah I'm lonely to the bone

But there's just one thing that I wanna know
Just one little thing before I go
Before I go

It's who takes care of me?
Tell me, who takes care of me?
Should've been you
Oh!
Should've been you

Oh!

And I'm angry
And I'm sad
I'm the best thing, that you ever had
All I wanted, was your touch
But you told me, what I wanted was just too much

Oh, who takes care of me?
Tell me, who takes care of me?
Should've been you
Oh! Should've been you
Should've been you
