Mitski
Should’ve Been Me
[Verse 1]
Well, I went through my list of friends and found
I had no one to tell
Of this overwhelming clean feeling
Strange serenity

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn't reach me
So you went into your memory
Relived 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
When I saw the girl looked just like me, I thought
Must be lonely loving someone
Trying to find their way out of a maze
Oh, I know

[Chorus]
I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn't reach me
So you went into your memory
Relived 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
