Lyrics

Eleven months since we said goodbye
All because I couldn't chase the high
Derived from breadcrumbs I thought led to love
I was fighting all my feelings
While you were fighting all your demons
And for reasons I can't explain
I still thought I could be enough

Does she dance on tables like I wouldn't do
I'm sure she might be wild enough for you

But she can never take my place
Cause you'll always feel the aftertaste
And every time you kiss her face
Your heart breaks a little more
And every time you turn around
You hope that I'll be there somehow
'Cause when you look at her
All that you can see
Is that should've been me
Oh, that should've been me

We spent the holidays together
But now I can't help but wonder
If it was only 'cause you knew
We both had no one else
(No one else)
Both our families were estranged
Mine would call me by the name
That caused me more shame than I'd ever felt

I bet she's spending Christmas Eve drunk drivin'
While I'm spending winter Christmas Carolinin'

But she can never take my place
Cause you'll always feel the aftertaste
And every time you kiss her face
Your heart breaks a little more
And every time you turn around
You hope that I'll be there somehow
'Cause when you look at her
All that you can see
Is that should've been me
Oh, that should've been me
(That should've been me)

But I could never take her place
'Cause I would never play your games
But I see her making my mistakes
And my heart just breaks for her
And every time you turn around
I'll be nowhere to be found
Cause when I look at her
All that I can see
Is that could've been me
Oh, that could've been me
She's enough for you
But everything that I never wanna be
But that could have been me
And I'm happy to be me
