I Could Have Been You lyrics
by Melissa Etheridge
Take, take a look at the skySometimes your heaven seems to far awayTake, take a look under hereWhere deprivation turns into decayI've stood under this rain, felt it seep into my brainI've shut my eyes and crawled around this mudI'm scared of growin' old, I shiver when I'm coldDon't you think I bleed the same blood?(chorus:)I, I could've been you, you could've been meOne small change that shapes your destinyIf you want the proof, cut me and you'll seeI could've been you, you could've been meWait, wait before you turn offMaybe there's a chance we can relateWait, everybody turns onWhy deny a fact that's so innate?It's not so easy anymore, the way you used to keep scoreNot so black and white, the color of your sinTake a walk inside my shoes, a path I didn't chooseSpend the night inside of my skin(chorus)Change is turning into fear, fear is melting into hateWith hate you justify your crime, a crime compassion can eraseEraseEraseTouch, touch what I feelAnd know I believe everything I saySo go, go if you mustRemember one thing as you walk away:(chorus)
