Lyrics

A worn out, love affair
I knew wouldn’t last
Trying so, desperately
to hold on to your past
Gave you space, took my time
Till you saw for yourself
The feelings, That I had
I put them on a shelf
The tide, changed so quickly
I never got my chance
Someone, waiting in the wings
Was waiting to ask you to dance

It shoulda been me holding your hand
It shoulda been me you were calling your man
Somehow I missed, my opportunity
It shoulda been me, it shoulda been me

Respecting, your feelings
Not letting you see
The friendship, I showed you
Ran way more deep
Somehow I, didn’t hear
You finally let him go
I would have, stopped pretending
And finally let you know

With you, I’d be ready
To forget my own past
To open, my heart again
And finally take a chance

It shoulda been me holding your hand
It shoulda been me you were calling your man
You were the one that could make me believe
It shoulda been me, it shoulda been me

Now you have, someone else
I hope he treats you right
You deserve, all the best
And real love in your life
I will, go on smiling
try to be happy for you
Hide away my true feelings
Never saying a word

It shoulda been me holding your hand
It shoulda been me you were calling your man
I guess it just wasn’t meant to be
It shoulda been me, it shoulda been me
‘
Holding your hand
It shoulda been me you were calling your man
I guess it just wasn’t meant to be
It shoulda been me, It coulda been
It shoulda been me
