Your smell and your taste, the look in your eye
Thought you were here, thought you were mine
But I didn’t know, it’s not my place
It should have been me,
It should have been me.

Razor on skin pulls at my face
The water runs cold, erasing all trace
Silly how now, I see through the fog
It should have been me, 
It should have been me.

It’s just a whisper in my ear
It’s just the motion through the years
I don’t think I can see where we go from here
It’s just a whisper in my ear

The sound of my voice, it rings through my head
It echoes off thoughts I long thought were dead
I tried to be right, I tried to be me.
I should have been me
It should have been me

But that was your fault, you left me for dead
You left me alone with a song in my head
Now I can’t see, I can’t feel a thing
Should have been me
It should have been me.

It’s just a whisper in my ear
It’s just the motion through the years
I don’t think I can see where we go from here
It’s just a whisper in my ear
