It Should Have Been Me

(Verse 1)
We were young,
the world was cold,
two men in love
they wouldn’t openly hold.
But we didn’t need permission,
no church, no wedding rings,
’cause as long as you were with me,
we already had everything.
You walked through dark temptations,
through bad friends and poisoned nights.
I could see the war inside you,
see you fighting for your life.
And little by little
you pulled yourself back out,
and I was proud of every morning
you still chose hope somehow.
(Chorus)
It should have been me.
I was the one meant to die.
Back then
felt like a sentence for life.
But you stayed right beside me,
carried all my fear and pain.
While I slowly learned to live again,
fate came calling out your name.
And now I sit here alone
in the house we built so far away.
It should have been me missing…
but somehow you’re the one who’s gone away.
(Verse 2)
Years later we finally married
when the world allowed us to.
And we moved out to the countryside,
far away from what we knew.
I worked myself into exhaustion,
built our life with both my hands.
Not for money — just for safety,
so your past wouldn’t pull you back again.
I was terrified that if I left first,
you’d fall back into the dark.
So I tried to build a future
strong enough to guard your heart.
(Bridge)
Then came that single moment
in a cold white doctor’s room.
Not me…
suddenly the nightmare belonged to you.
Cancer.
And the silence filled the air.
Two long years of fighting, breaking, hoping —
while I watched you disappear.
As my own disease
slowly lost its power over me,
yours kept taking more and more
until you were too weak to breathe.
(Final Chorus)
It should have been me.
That’s how the story should have gone.
You were always the strong one beside me,
the one who kept me holding on.
Now I stand alone at midnight,
sometimes hear your footsteps still.
Every room inside this old house
carries echoes that always will.
You left a hole inside my soul
no one else could ever mend.
And no matter how much time may pass,
I will love you till the end.
Because some people leave this world…
but never really leave your heart.

Es ist so herzzerreißend, wie du die ganze Lebensgeschichte in einen Song und Video verpackt hast. Ich kenne alle Stationen, es ist wunderschön. Lieben Gruß
Die Lebens- Liebesgesichte ist schön obwohl sie sehr traurig endet.
