I Could Have Been You |
| Take, take a look at the sky |
| Sometimes your heaven seems so far away |
| Take, take a look under here |
| Where deprivation turns into decay |
| I’ve stood under this rain |
| Felt it seep into my brain |
| I’ve shut my eyes and crawled around this mud |
| I’m scared of growin’old |
| I shiver when I’m cold |
| Don’t you think I bleed the same blood |
| I, I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny |
| If you want the proof |
| Cut me and you’ll see |
| I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me Wait, wait before you turn off |
| Maybe there’s a chance we can relate |
| Wait everybody turns on Why deny a fact that’s so innate |
| It’s not so easy anymore |
| They way you used to keep score |
| Not so black and white the color of your sin |
| Take a walk inside my shoes |
| A path I didn’t choose |
| Spend the night inside of my skin |
| I, I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny |
| If you want the proof |
| Cut me and you’ll see |
| I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me Change is turning into fear |
| Fear is melting into hate |
| With hate you justify your crime |
| A crime compassion can erase |
| Erase erase |
| Touch, touch what I feel |
| And know I believe everything I say |
| So go, go if you must |
| Remember one thing as you walk away |
| I, I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny |
| If you want the proof |
| Cut me and you’ll see |
| I could’ve been you |
| You could’ve been me |
