Melissa Etheridge "I Could've Been You" lyrics

I Could've Been You

Take, take a look at the skySometimes your heaven seems so far awayTake, take a look under hereWhere deprivation turns into decayI've stood under this rainFelt it seep into my brainI've shut my eyes and crawled around this mudI'm scared of growin' oldI shiver when I'm coldDon't you think I bleed the same blood

I, I could've been youYou could've been meOne small change that shapes your destinyIf you want the proofCut me and you'll seeI could've been youYou could've been me

Wait, wait before you turn offMaybe there's a chance we can relateWait everybody turns onWhy deny a fact that's so innateIt's not so easy anymoreThey way you used to keep scoreNot so black and white the color of your sinTake a walk inside my shoesA path I didn't chooseSpend the night inside of my skin

I, I could've been youYou could've been meOne small change that shapes your destinyIf you want the proofCut me and you'll seeI could've been youYou could've been me

Change is turning into fearFear is melting into hateWith hate you justify your crimeA crime compassion can eraseErase erase

Touch, touch what I feelAnd know I believe everything I saySo go, go if you mustRemember one thing as you walk away

I, I could've been youYou could've been meOne small change that shapes your destinyIf you want the proofCut me and you'll seeI could've been youYou could've been me
