Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I'da stayed back home Never spread my wings Let you build that house Let you buy that ring If I'da put down my dreams to put you first I coulda been her [Verse 2] If I'da dyed my hair If I'da lost that weight If I'da worn that dress And let you change my name I'd still be wakin' up in your T-shirt I coulda been her [Chorus] If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably coulda made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screamin' There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin' If I'da buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me [Verse 3] No, it wouldn't be me To let you get away With every word you'd twist And every bed you made If I'da just hung around, not knowin' my worth I could've been her [Chorus] If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably coulda made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screamin' There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin' If I'da buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me [Outro] If I'da just gave up The standards I have Let you hit your knees And beg me on back If I'da just sold my soul for a love that cheap I coulda been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me
