The video features a short lyrical performance by two vocalists, Speaker A and Speaker B, who repeatedly express feelings of loneliness, regret, and yearning for a lost romantic connection. The lyrics revolve around the refrain “should have been you,” describing imagined moments of togetherness, the pain of letting go, and uncertainty about what to do. The piece uses repeated lines and a dual perspective to emphasize emotional longing and the sense of a missed opportunity.
Chapters
I could be wrapped around your arms instead of being lonely. We could be gazing at the stars, but now it feels just like I wandered off into a room and closed the door behind me. I never gave the key to you. Even though I wanted to. I should be trying something new, but now my body's aching. I'm tired of dwelling in the dark, it's just that my heart can't take it. I didn't know what it would cost me when I let you go. I feel alone, and I'm just singing. It should have been you. Another time, another place, I just know it could have been you. What a crime and what a shame to let go. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. It should have been you. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. Should have been you. I should have been you. I could be wrapped around your arms instead of being lonely. It should have been you.
Another time, another place, I just know you could have been the one who made me feel home. What a crime and what a shame to let go. Ooh, it should have been you. Another time, another place, I just know you could have been the one who made me feel at home. What a crime and what a shame to let you go.
Sometimes I just don't know what to do. It should have been you.
