Writers: McLaughlin/James My baby, should've been the one Last night I was so scared I couldn't close my eyes You still live in me Some how I made it through the night Rescued by the break of day, once again I know someone's in your heart, it's pulling me apart But I guess I'm the one to blame (it's so hard) And it's so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now you've dissapeared How I long to hold you near Chorus: Oh I should've been the one who's with you now Should've been the one that's feeling proud I failed you now Oh I should've read the signs in your eyes Should've had the sense to realise I've lost you now I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd The same crowd I used to know But it's too late now to change anything I've lost everything Gotta learn to let you go Chorus I should've been the light in your eyes (should've been the light) Should've been the fire in your smile (should've been the fire) I should've been your spirit and your guide I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me?) Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me) I realise I paid the price but nothing's gonna change the way I fell for you Oh I should've been the one who's with you now Should've been the one who's feeling proud Girl I've failed you now Should've read the signs in your eyes Should've had the sense to realise I've lost you now I know I let you down, baby had to fool around Oh I should've been the one who's with you now Should've been the one who's feeling proud I failed you now I should've read the signs, baby should've realised Oh I should've read the signs in your eyes Should've had the sense to realise I've lost you now I know I let you down, baby had to fool around.
