that could have been me

Singer:todd rundgren

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

and you'll roll over at night

that empty pillow by your side

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

when you roll over at night

an empty pillow by your side

that could have been me

and i will swallow my pride

when you roll over at night

that empty pillow by your side

that could have been me

that could have been me

so i will swallow my pride

that empty pillow by your side

that could have been me
