"I Could've Been You" lyrics

I woke up one day feeling down
Thinking of You
I'm in my bed
Roof over my head
With my family too
I can't help thinking
Why I'm here instead of you
What have I done in this life
To deserve a better one

And I
I could've been you
(I could've been you)
And not a day goes by
That I don't think about you
And I know that you
(I know that you)
You could've been me
(You could've been me)
Don't know the reason why
That this was chosen to be our reality
I could've been you, and
You could've been me

Some are born in peace
Some in endless darkness
It's out of our hands
Oh we don't get to decide
The life that we've got
It's already planned, yeah
It's only God who knows the wisdom why
I'm here and not you
When it's said and done in this life
Did I deserve the better one?

And I
I could've been you
(I could've been you)
And not a day goes by
That I don't think about you
And I know that you
(I know that you)
You could've been me
(You could've been me)
Don't know the reason why
That this was chosen to be our reality
I could've been you, and
You could've been me

I could've been you
You could've been me
And not a day goes by
That I don't think about you, oh

I know that I
I could've been you
(I could've been you)
And not a day goes by
That I don't think about you
And I know that you
(I know that you)
You could've been me
(You could've been me)
Don't know the reason why
That this was chosen to be our reality

Oh, oh
