Should’ve been us

I see her lips where mine should stay,

You moved me out, she took my place.

Your jacket’s hanging on her frame,

And I’m the ghost that you don’t say.

All the nights we burned alive,

Turned to ash before my eyes.

If I stayed, would you have stayed too?

Or was I always just a bruise?

It should’ve been us, it should’ve been me,

Front row seat to your wildest dreams.

Now she’s the song that you sing on repeat,

But it should’ve been us — yeah, it should’ve been me.

She’s got your hand, I had your scars,

I lit the match, she gets the sparks.

I built the stage, she takes the bow,

I hope you’re happy with her now.

All the words we never said,

Echo loud inside my head.

If I fought, would you have fought too?

Or was I never built for you?

It should’ve been us, it should’ve been me,

Front row seat to your wildest dreams.

Now she’s the song that you sing on repeat,

But it should’ve been us — yeah, it should’ve been me.

Turn the volume up, let the static break,

Drown my heartbeat out, but it’s too late.

You’re a melody I can’t delete,

Screaming in the silence — it should’ve been me.

It should’ve been us, it should’ve been me,

Every chord, every line, every memory.

Now she’s your forever, and I’m your history,

But it should’ve been us — yeah, it should’ve been me.
