Should’ve Been Me

Music and Lyric: Rica Arambulo

Additional lyric: Bei Bernal


Said goodbye the usual way,

The classic line, the old cliché.

No explanations long overdue.

I’ll come out of this.

I’ll see it through.

Till last night, I saw her with you.

Something just gave

As I looked away.


Time heals all wounds, they say.

How then could mine have stayed?

Should’ve been me holding you.

Should’ve been me.


Should’ve known better,

I got a feeling

Ours was a story

With the wrong kind of ending.

Whatever came after

Wouldn’t have mattered.

I would’ve found

Someone new by then.

Could’ve sworn the feeling was gone.

I thought the pain ended.

It had just begun.


Time heals all wounds, they say.

How then could mine have stayed?

Should’ve been me holding you.

Should’ve been me.


Time heals all wounds, they say.

How then could mine have stayed?

Should’ve been me holding you.

Should’ve been me.


Should’ve known better,

I got a feeling

Ours was a story

With the wrong kind of ending.
