I know you never

wanted to hurt me

but you did

sure you do

Shouting at the neighbour's dog

you smile

so heavenly drunk

There's a car out waiting

on the city street

for you to come out and shine so bright

And I look into the dusty space

and I can't let you go





It should have been you

my old forgotten love

It should have been you

my old forgotten love





And the flowers built a shelter

and the stick in my heart

growin' bigger by the day

And it's oh, so quiet in here

'cept some furious sounds from the haze

From the mess of my bed I know things must be done

do you care to run - do you care to hide

I don't know how I will achieve it

but I just can't leave without you





It should have been you

my old forgotten love

It should have been you

my old forgotten love





And the days are so much longer now

the night is just a wasteless crime

but I promise you neither of them could break

me down.

If you only come and save me now

from all the things inside my eyes

come on

come on

come on

My days always looking for a brighter spot

but I don't want it, I don't need it

If you come and share my roads

I won't let you down



It should have been you

my old forgotten love

It should have been you

my old forgotten love





And the mallards do their funny serenade

and force me to see and I feel silly as the birds.

Dear, do you care to know

this morning I had the feeling of dying again.

And the car that bring the light

is still a day ahead

and time is on my side

I know I have to be

better known in the morning
