I shouldn't be here




Came across the above youtube video and in my mind I lengthened and repeated and edited these chords. Came up with a song. Below are the lyrics.

You called, I answered
But none of that matters.
At the end of the day,
I shouldn't be here

You spoke, I listened
But none of that's important to me
No, I shouldn't be here

You smiled, and I'm scared.
I'm trembling with fear.
But who cares?
I shouldn't be here

Now your hand is on my face
Like it doesn't know its place
Is on another her, a different me
But you touch me like we're meant to be

Those eyes, I recognize
But this time, I crave the lie
Oh no,
I shouldn't be here

You paused, I felt the heat
Now nothing else matters
But I shouldn't be here

My mind's playing our song
You're standing too close please move along
I shouldn't be here

Turn around you stupid girl
Just walk away, don't you dare stay
You should know
I shouldn't be here

Then you caught me by surprise
Felt your lips press against mine
What are we doing? Didn't I learn?
Nothing that fire can do but burn

But your eyes, I recognize
And this time, I crave the lie
No no
I shouldn't be here

But if you touch me again
And say you love me again
Then in this moment I'll give in
Then everyone loses, nobody wins

Or

Say nothing and save my heart
Play the villain; play your part
So it's clear

I shouldn't be here
