Lyrics

When I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I got a feelin' that it's comin' soon
Could this be the end?
And when I look around this room
It must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true?
We've come to the end
Oh, did I disappoint you?
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh, the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should've been you (Should've been you)
Should've been you (Should've been you)
Should've been you (Would've been you)
(Should've been you, would've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would've been you, could've been you)
Should've been you (Should've been you)
Should've been you (Would've been you)
(Should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
It seems so obvious to you
You're feelin' what I'm feelin' too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end
Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
Is who I am, is not for you
We've come to the end
Oh, did I disappoint you?
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh, the book of love
Was not enough to see us through
The problem should've been you (Should've been you)
Should've been you (Could've been you)
Should've been you (Would've been you)
(Should've been you, would've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would've been you, could've been you)
Should've been you (Should've been you)
Should've been you (Would've been you)
(Should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Could've been you, could've been you)
(Should've been you, should've been you)
Would've been you (Would've been you)
Should've been you if it hadn't been me
(Should've been you)
(Could've been you, could've been you)
(Could've been you, should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would've been you, would've been you)
(Should've been you, should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would've been you, could've been you)
(Could've been you, should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would've been you, would've been you)
(Should've been you, should've been you)
If it hadn't been me
