Shouldn’t Have to Be Her
Lyrics by Tony Tea

[Verse 1]
Instead of looking forward
It’s behind me, I’m always facing
Forever picking up the broken pieces
That you caused without replacing
Time goes on
Nothing’s getting better
The life you promised me
Turned to just holding it together

[Chorus]
I shouldn’t have to be her
Stuck here in this place
I’m not supposed to be her
Buried in a world of hate
Always the one bearing your fate
I’m not supposed to be her

[Verse 2]
Tell me when you’re going to do better
When are you going to be that man
The strong one who builds me up
Who’s supposed to help me stand
It’s okay, you don’t have to answer
That was the problem all along
Thinking you were more than what you are
That’s where I went wrong

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m not supposed to be her
Stuck here in this place
I’m not supposed to be her
Buried in a world of hate
Losing myself as I fade to keep pace
I’m not supposed to be her
[Bridge]
I’ve picked up every broken part
And none of them were mine
The time has come to reclaim myself
And step beyond your line
I should be the one you cherished
Not the one you’ve left unseen
No more fading into silence
‘Cause boy, I deserve to be the queen

[Final Chorus]
I wasn’t supposed to be her
Not stuck here in this place
I wasn’t supposed to be her
Hidden in a world I began to hate
When spirits go silent and healing comes late
I wasn’t supposed to be her

[Outro]
No... I shouldn’t have to be her
