Lyrics That Could Have Been Me - Todd Rundgren, Robyn

That Could Have Been Me

I thought I was your super girl
But you had somethin' else in mind
You promised a place in your world for me
But it’s so cold and undefined
If there’s somethin' I’ve overlooked
I just don’t know what it could be
I’ve got to finally close the book on us
Not even that you’d do for me
But I will swallow my pride
(What will be will be)
And you’ll roll over at night
(Tell me what you see)
That empty pillow by your side
(That could have been me)
That could have been me
It’s like you’ll always mean to me
More than I’ll ever mean to you
And when I should’ve broken free
I was willingly your fool
I can see it in your eyes
I should simply walk away
After all I compromised
I know you won’t hear me anyway
Oh, And I will swallow my pride
(What will be will be)
When you roll over at night
(Tell me what you see)
An empty pillow by your side
(That could have been me)
That could have been me
(That could have been me)
And I will swallow my pride
(What will be will be)
When you roll over at night
(Tell me what you see)
That empty pillow by your side
(That could have been me)
That could have been me
That could have been me
(So I will swallow my pride)
So I will swallow my pride
(When you roll over at night)
That empty pillow by your side
That could have been me
