Mitski - Should’ve Been Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I went through my list of friends and found I had no one to tell Of this overwhelming clean feeling Strange serenity [Pre-Chorus] When I saw the girl looked just like me And it broke my heart, the lengths you went to hold me To get to have me, 'cause [Chorus] I haven't given you what you need You wanted me, but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relived all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me, but couldn't reach me I'm sorry, it should've been me [Verse 2] I'd be going 'bout my day, until a hand Would come and lift me out And drop me in the middle of a labyrinth Where I'd be stuck a while [Pre-Chorus] When I saw the girl looked just like me, I thought Must be lonely loving someone Trying to find their way out of a maze Oh, I know [Chorus] I haven't given you what you need You wanted me, but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relived all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me, but couldn't reach me I'm sorry, it should've been me I'm sorry, it should've been me
