Lay down by my side,



the truth wont hurt me now



Even in this last goodbye,



there is beauty we cant deny



Maybe, maybe, maybe its a crime dear



Maybe, maybe, maybe I dont want to see



Why you give yourself away when



It should have been me,



should have been my love



It should have been me,



should have been my kind of love



Escape with me tonight,



this moment is all there is



When the morning comes were cast aside,



now theres farewell in every kiss



You stumble through emotions



with great and deep concern



You cross my line of defence,



you know how weakness



makes me yearn



Then you throw my love away,



afraid of what you see



Hell, you ought to know by now



It should have been me,



should have been my love



It should have been me,



should have been my kind of love



When you walk beside him down the aisle



in your brilliant wedding dress



When the ring is on your finger,



and he wants you to get undressed



Will you fall into his arms,



will you set his spirit free,



will he ever get to know



it should have been me



Maybe, maybe, maybe Im alone here



Maybe, maybe, maybe I dont want to see



When you give yourself away



It should have been me,



should have been my love



It should have been me,



should have been my kind of love
