Southcourt - Should've Been You Lyrics

Alcohol and confidence, my heavy heart goes wild
Wherewithal and consequence escape me as I dial
Guess I didn't know I needed it til it was gone for years
Call to say I'm six drinks deep, and I need you to hear

That I miss you, and I'm sorry

It should've been you
But my dumb ass thought best to walk away
It should've been you
That I chased down and asked to take my name
It should've been you
And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed
Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew
That it should've been
Yeah it should've been you

Surely when I'm sober, I'll wish I'd not grabbed the phone
But now I'm outside your window, contemplating throwing stones
Hoping I might get your attention, that you'll come out and start confessing
That we should pick it up where we left it
So poetic, so pathetic

And it's stupid to put you through this
And I know me showing up might leave you ruined, but

It should've been you
But my dumb ass thought best to walk away
It should've been you
That I chased down and asked to take my name
It should've been you
And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed
Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew
That it should've been
Yeah it should've been you

It could've been real, it could've been us
I had it all and passed it up
So how can I heal, when you were the one?
And I'm left to live with all this love

Can't live with all this love

It should've been you
But my dumb ass thought best to walk away
It should've been you
That I chased down and asked to take my name
It should've been you
And now I'm laying lonely and ashamed
Cause somewhere deep down there, I always knew
That it should've been
Yeah it should've been you
