Could've Been Me

When the screams of the night

Invade all your dreams

And the burning sun of the day

Sets you ablaze

You'll run for a shelter

And you'll remember

You'll remember I had said

It could've been me...

You'll try to build a home

And you'll realise

You did not need to

It could've been me...

You'll find a hand to hold

And when you don't find one

My touch will always remind you

It could've been me...

When you look for a quick fix

To mend your shattered soul

You'll only find your tears screaming

It could've been me...

And when the thunder

Screams into your ears

And the rain keeps pouring

All night long

When you'll have nothing of your own

Except your broken soul

Its then when you'll think of me

And realise...

You had  a shelter
But you said you didn't need it

You had a hand to hold
But instead you left her stranded

You always had a quick fix
But you always left her kneeling

And most of all

She built in herself
For you a loving home

But you were so busy loving yourself
That you left it all alone
