Lyrics

SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
I have a story I feel I must tell cause deep inside me there?s a dried up well? Three in a car, the curve was never seen ? My best friend died at only seventeen ? At seventeen his lights went out just like a shooting star ? They found his body lying under the car with a broken neck ? My God the angels cried ? Nobody knew this was his very last ride ? (Refrain: How could this be? When I heard he died, well I fell to my knees ? How could this be? It hurts so much, it should have been me) ? How can I explain this pain I felt inside? All these emotions took me on a ride, spinning up and down ? These feelings made me sick, it hit my system like a ton of bricks ? No this wasn?t true, no this could not be ? He was way too young to have his soul set free ? I wasn?t ready for such a change ? To accept something I could not rearrange ? (Refrain) ? At the funeral those who knew him well stared at their friend now just an empty shell ? His sister?s tears as they fell to the floor ? Her brother?s spirit knocked on heaven?s door ? Well a part of me must have died ? Cause ever since I haven?t felt the same ? In all that pain I wanted to run away, a smack in the face from reality ? (Refrain)
