Should’ve Been Me Songtext
von Mitski

Well, I went through my list of friends
And found I had no one to tell
Of this overwhelming clean feeling, strange serenity

When I saw the girl looked just like me
And it broke my heart
The lengths you went to hold me
To get to have me

′Cause, I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me but couldn′t reach me
So you went into your memory

Relive all the ways you still want me
I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me but couldn't reach me
I′m sorry it should′ve been me


I'd be going ′bout my day until a hand
Would come and lift me out
And drop me in the middle of a labyrinth, where I'd be stuck a while

When I saw the girl looked just like me
I thought, "must be lonely loving someone"
Tryna to find their way out of a maze
Oh, I know

I haven′t given you what you need
You wanted me but couldn't reach me
So you went into your memory

Relive all the ways you still want me
I haven′t given you what you need
You wanted me but couldn't reach me
I'm sorry it should′ve been me
I′m sorry it should've been me
