WATERBOYS
- It Should Have Been You Lyrics / with translationsCan I believe my ears?
Is this really you?
Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
Watching the winners go to
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
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
I know who I'm looking for
But I don'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 be fate"
Out of all of the people
That I ever knew
There had to one I could believe in
And it should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
If there had to one
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 stupid crimes
I saw you hang back now
I watched you hesitate
You're a well respected man
But bullshit, you could've been great
Out of all the people
I ever knew
There should have been one
And it should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
Yeah, I spent my whole life
Looking for someone like you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
There had to one
Oh, and it should have been you
Is this really you?
Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
Watching the winners go to
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
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
I know who I'm looking for
But I don'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 be fate"
Out of all of the people
That I ever knew
There had to one I could believe in
And it should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
If there had to one
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 stupid crimes
I saw you hang back now
I watched you hesitate
You're a well respected man
But bullshit, you could've been great
Out of all the people
I ever knew
There should have been one
And it should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
Yeah, I spent my whole life
Looking for someone like you
It should have been you
It should have been you
It should have been you
There had to one
Oh, and it should have been you
