Lyrics

I saw his truck parked in your driveway
Coffee on the dash
Two cups, not one
That probably means it's
Gonna last
You got yellow roses in the window
They're your favorite
Two flowers in one vase
You and him will probably make it

It should've been me
But I threw it away
I never gave you any reason
To think I'd stay
But it should've been me

I had a reputation as a man
who moves on fast
Sometimes I left a string of hearts who
wanted it to last
All my life I have been running
Leaving things behind
And I thought I'd do the same with you
But you blew my heart and mind

And I fell
I fell in love with you

It should've been me
But I threw it away
I never gave you any reason
To think I'd stay
But it should've been me

Were you willing to believe in me
I'll never know
How could you believe in me
when you thought I’d let you go
My love for you will live inside me
As I carry on
And maybe one day you will know
What I have always known

It should've been me
But I threw it away
I never gave you any reason
To think I'd stay
It should've been me
But I didn't know how
To be the man you really needed
The man that I am now
It should've been me
It should’ve been me
