He Should Be You Lyrics

He doesn't taste like you, he doesn't touch like you
No, I know he can't replace what never, never went away
There is no substitute for what I shared with you
No, I know it's not the same when he, when he calls my name
Does he know that when he's looking in my eyes
I'm thinking in the back of my mind
He should be you, how can it be
That the man I wanna love is not the man who's loving me
It should be you, it should be me
Don't want to hurt him but it's true, he should be, he should be you
Thought I was over you, thought I had spent enough
Time alone living, living on my own
I guess I fooled myself by thinking I could tell
A broken heart when it should start
Do you know how hard I've tried to let him in
Kept thinking that in time there'd be a spark
He should be you, how can it be
That the man I wanna love is not the man who's loving me

It should be you, it should be me
Don't want to hurt him but it's true, he should be, he should be you
How do I let him know, how do I let him go?
What'll I say to him to explain?
It's not that I don't care, it's just that it's not fair
That when I look at him I feel this way
He should be you, how can it be
That the man I wanna love is not the man who's loving me
It should be you, it should be me
Don't want to hurt him but it's true, he should be
He should be you, how can it be
That the man I wanna love is not the man who's loving me
It should be you, it should be me
Don't want to hurt him but it's true, he should be, he should be you
He should, how can it be
He's not loving me
It should, it should be you
He should be you, how can it be
That the man I wanna love is not the man who's loving me
It should be you, it should be me
Don't want to hurt him but it's true, he should be you
