Woulda Been Me

(album: The Lives Of Others - 2021)

So you buggered up
So you made a mess
You mixed on up the medicines
And poison's what you get
I don't want apologies
A a slice of toast before you leave?
Oh, if it hadn't been you
Yeah, it woulda been me

I shoulda seen it coming
Before the boom became the gem
When your heart, it took some beating
Then the bruising juice begins
Don't worry 'bout the damage
I got a day to scrub the sheets
If it hadn't been you
Yeah, it woulda been me

We're friends, we're family, we're circus freaks
We dance to dervish our nights' last weeks
What's desire without the need
Before a root can heal, a wound's gotta bleed

As sure as raindrops
Can make you wet or make you free, oh
If it hadn't been you
Yeah, it woulda been me
Look, here it comes

So now we know each other
Just a little bit more
I just wiped up some of your insides
From the tiles on my floor
Don't worry 'bout the damage
Let's snip the dog before you leave, oh
Yeah, if it hadn't been you
Yeah, it woulda been me
If it hadn't been you
Yeah, it woulda been me

It shoulda been
It coulda been
It woulda been
Oh, it woulda been me
It shoulda been
It coulda been
It woulda been
Oh, it woulda been me

It shoulda been
It coulda been
It woulda been
Oh, it woulda been me
It shoulda been
It coulda been
It woulda been
Oh, it woulda been me
