Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

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
