Should've Been Me

Mitski

5

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
