What Should Have Been Songtext
von Josie Charlwood

Had I known, for any length of time
I would′ve told you no
I would've changed your mind and made you sure
I would′ve made you feel like you were loved and more

I wish you'd said
So I could take those horrid thoughts out of your head
I would've saved us both some awful bad regret
I should′ve had you my friend, for years yet

And I can′t bear, to let you down again
And know it's for the last time,
For the last time
I can′t see, cause the air you'd have breathed has swallowed me
Swallowed me

Fall back to now,
I still expect to have you here when I turn around
I still long to hear your voice but there′s no sound
In my mind I'm searching reasons, they go round
Round and round


And as for me, all I see is your face when I try and sleep
Kept awake by all the memories I won′t keep
Wondering why you took away what should have been

And I can't bear, to let you down again
And know it's for the last time,
For the last time
I can′t see, cause the air you′d have breathed has swallowed me
Me

Once, twice, captured everyone
Every blink, every tear under this stone cold sun
Was it you? Was it me?
Is a question asked by everyone but you know

It's too late now
It′s too late now
I wish you were home, but you're not
I wish you were mine, but you′re gone
Ooh
But you're gone


I can′t bear, I let you down my friend
For the last time, for the last time
And I can't breathe, cause the world you've have seen
Has captured me
Ooh, has captured me
Ooh

I wish you were home,
I wish you weren′t gone.
