Shouldn’t Have Been

On that Thursday night
Me walking down that alley
Everything was wrong about it
The cold was embracing me
While that should've been you
Depression overwhelmed me
While that should've been you
All I could see was darkness
While that should've been you
I loved the pain 
While that should've been you
I found comfort in a beer can
While that should've been you
I kissed my sobriety goodbye
While that should've been you
I slept next to a pack of beers
While that should've been you

There, back at your place
You made love to my best friend
While that should've been me
And let me guess
You Netflix-and-chilled with him
While that should've been me
You cooked your famous lasagna for him
While that should've been me
You sang with him our favorite song
While that should've been me
He watched you fall asleep
While that should've been me

You broke my heart
Well, that shouldn't have been
You found comfort in the person I knew would be my best man at our wedding
Well, that shouldn't have been
Today, I drank my first beers
Well, that shouldn't have been
I envisioned a future with you in it
Well, that shouldn't have been
I loved you, queen
Well, that shouldn't have been

Should've guessed it 
Should've expected this queen
To want to conquest, plunder and conquer 
Then move on to the next
I thought I was your knight in shining armour
Turns out I was just the pawn on the chess board
Expendable, unimportant
This checkmate, of sorts
Shouldn't have been
Sorry, heart, I let you get broken
Sorry, soul, I let you get played
All the hurt shouldn't have been
Sorry, love, you shouldn't have been...
