911 Should've Been the One song lyrics

Writers: McLaughlin/James

My baby, should've been the one

Last night I was so scared I couldn't close my eyes

You still live in me

Some how I made it through the night

Rescued by the break of day, once again

I know someone's in your heart, it's pulling me apart

But I guess I'm the one to blame (it's so hard)

And it's so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now you've dissapeared

How I long to hold you near

Chorus:

Oh I should've been the one who's with you now

Should've been the one that's feeling proud

I failed you now

Oh I should've read the signs in your eyes

Should've had the sense to realise

I've lost you now

I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd

The same crowd I used to know

But it's too late now to change anything

I've lost everything

Gotta learn to let you go

Chorus

I should've been the light in your eyes (should've been the light)

Should've been the fire in your smile (should've been the fire)

I should've been your spirit and your guide

I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me?)

Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me)

I realise I paid the price but nothing's gonna change the way I fell for

you

Oh I should've been the one who's with you now

Should've been the one who's feeling proud

Girl I've failed you now

Should've read the signs in your eyes

Should've had the sense to realise

I've lost you now

I know I let you down, baby had to fool around

Oh I should've been the one who's with you now

Should've been the one who's feeling proud

I failed you now

I should've read the signs, baby should've realised

Oh I should've read the signs in your eyes

Should've had the sense to realise

I've lost you now

I know I let you down, baby had to fool around.
