Could’ve Been Her Songtext
von Ella Langley

If I′d stayed back home
Never spread my wings
Let you build that house
Let you buy that ring
If I'd put down my dreams to put you first
I could′ve been her

If I'd dyed my hair
If I'd lost that weight
If I′d worn that dress
And let you change my name
I′d still be wakin' up in your T-shirt
I could′ve been her


If I'd shut my mouth, faked that smile
Probably could′ve made it work for a while
Cried in the dark instead of screaming
There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceiling
If I′d buried my feelings
Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat
I could've been her
But that wouldn't be me

No, it wouldn′t be me
To let you get away
With every word you′d twist
And every bed you made
If I'd just hung around, not knowin′ my worth
I could've been her

If I′d shut my mouth, faked that smile
Probably could've made it work for a while
Cried in the dark instead of screaming
There wouldn′t be red wine stains on the ceiling
If I'd buried my feelings
Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat
I could've been her
But that wouldn′t be me
That wouldn′t be me


If I'd just gave up
The standards I have
Let you hit your knees
And beg me on back
If I′d just sold my soul for a love that cheap
I could've been her
But that wouldn′t be me
That wouldn't be me
