In a dream of blind romance
We would never dare
We were tempted by the promise
Of a life we couldn`t share

Here I`m standing sad and free
I can¹t cry and I can`t see
What you have kept inside you
And what I refused to be

Now I won`t believe in love
So I can¹t be hurt
Still I`m trying to hold on
Before it slips away
And those dreams can last so long
Even after you have gone
And heaven knows I¹m sinking
In this ocean of your eyes

It should have been you
Giving it all away
It could have been me
Making it through your day
Without pain
Of promises never made
I loved you before I met you
Now it`s time to let it go
It should have been you
Giving it all away

It could have been me
Making it through your day
Without pain
Of promises never made
I loved you before I met you
Now it¹s time to let it go
To let you go

Sometimes I have got this feeling
That I don`t belong
In a world without your presence
Where I need to be strong
Here I`m standing sad and free
What you have kept inside you
And what I refused to be

We`ve been living in this darkness
With our hearts undone
And it`s been a cold long winter
Now I`m praying for the sun
And those dreams can last so long
Even after you have gone
And heaven knows I`m sinking
In this ocean of your eyes

It should have been you
Giving it all away
It could have been me
Making it through your day
Without pain
Of promises never made
Cause I loved you before I met you
Now it`s time to let it go

It should have been you
Giving it all away
Now I won`t be me
I won`t make it through your day
I just know I have to let you go
So I`ll let you go
It should have been you
