him

What made you think that I was weak for being sad?
It took a lot of strength to walk away like that
I don't believe that you believe in all you said
But I should've known

We’ve come a long way
Time always brings us here
We couldn’t help ourselves from falling
And all I wanted was to make you happy, dear
And I think you were

But I’ll never be him
We’ll never be safe
I'm so good to you
Well, clearly that's not what it takes
Because will never beat him
In a fair world I could
Because you know I’m the one who puts a smile upon your face
I guess it should've been him

If I were him I’d be approved by default
I would have checked all the boxes
I wouldn’t have to do much more than stand tall
That would be enough

You would look good with me with no need to pretend
I’d have the right to hold your hand
If I were him I would be the one for you
But what do I know?

Because I’ll never be him
We’ll never be safe
You’re so good to me
Oh, what difference does it make?
Cause I’ll never beat him
He’s not even that good
And you know you’re the one who puts a smile upon my face

It shouldn’t matter what they say and think
But I know it does to you
I’m sick and tired of fighting fights I’ll never win
When it’s not that difficult
Because we both know he shouldn’t be the one who stays
It should’ve been me

I wish you didn’t take the easy way
(It should've been me)
The one right by you everyday
(It should've been me)
The one who writes the vows I couldn't wait to say
It should’ve been me
