It Should Have Been You Lyrics

    Can i believe my ears?
    Is this really you?
    Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
    Watching the winners go through
    Why do you hang back now?
    Why d'you hesitate?
    You fires don't burn
    For he who waits

    Out of all of the people
    That i ever knew
    If one should have made it
    It should have been you!

    I know who i'm looking for
    But i don't believe my eyes
    The sight of you with your head hung low
    Is a sick, sad suprise
    Why do you hang back now?
    Why d'you hesitate?
    How dare you throw it all away then tell me
    Aw man it must be fate

    Out of all of the people
    That i ever knew
    There had to one i could believe in
    And it should have been you!

    A gift that dies is a tragic thing
    And it happens all the time
    But a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell is the
    Worst of stupid crimes!
    I saw you hang back now!
    I watched you hesitate!
    You're a well respected man, but bullshit!
    You could've been great!

    Out of all the people
    I ever knew
    There should have been one
    And it should have been you!

    I spent my whole life
    Looking for someone like you!
