I Could've Been You Lyrics - Your Little Secret - Melissa Etheridge

Take, take a look at the sky 

Sometimes your heaven seeems so far away 

Take, take a look under here 

Where deprivation turns into decay 

I've stood under this rain 

Felt it seep into my brain 

I've shut my eyes and crawled around this mud 

I'm scared of growing old 

I shiver when I'm cold 

Don't you think I bleed the same blood 

CHORUS: 

I, I could have been you 

You could have been me 

One small change that shapes your destiny 

If you want the proof 

Cut me and you'll see 

I could have been you 

You could have been me

Wait, wait before you turn off 

Maybe there's a chance we can relate 

Wait everybody turns on 

Why deny a fact that's so innate 

It's not so easy anymore 

They way you used to keep score 

Not so black and white the colors of your skin 

Take a walk inside my shoes 

A path I didn't choose 

Spend the night inside of my skin 

CHORUS 

Change is turning into fear 

Fear is melting into hate 

With hate you justify your crime 

A crime compassion can erase 

Erase erase 

Photos 

Touch, touch what I feel 

And know I believe everything I say 

So go, go if you must 

Remember one thing as you walk away 

CHORUS
