Lyrics: The Waterboys. Otras Canciones. It Should Have Been You.

:
Can I believe my ears ?
Is this really you
pacing the floor with one eye on the door
watching the winners go through ?
Why do you hang back now ?
Why'd you hesitate ?
You know fires don't burn
for he who waits
Out of all the people
that I ever knew,
if one should have made it
it should have been you

I know who I'm looking for
but I can't believe my eyes
The sight of you with your head hung low
is a sick sad surprise
Why do you hang back now ?
Why'd you hesitate ?
How dare you throw it all away then tell me
"Aw man, it must have been fate"
Out of all the people
that I ever knew
there had to be one I could believe in
and it should have been you

A gift that dies is a tragic thing
and it happens all the time
but a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell
is the worst of crimes
I saw you hang back now
I watched you hesitate
You're a well respected man but bullshit !
You could have been great

Out of all the people
that I ever knew
There should have been One !
And it should have been you
