Trebuia să fii tu [English translation]

In each fight, you tried to understand me,

You didn't want me to be perfect, you wanted me to be present

For my phone to not ring every five minutes

To have time for you too, even for two minutes

But I didn't . . . always occupied with work,

You fell asleep and woke up alone in bed,

But I didn't . . . I didn't even try

To look in your eyes when you left.

Oh, you say that I chided you over everything, he complimented you

Oh, because I was distant and he clearly has feelings

And now I want, in his place, for it to be me

And in her place, for it to be you

Now you'd like to go back

Your place in my story,

I want to know that you still feel something

And for you to tell me that it should've

Been you, been you

It should've been you

Been you, been you.

He kisses you, he pampers you each morning

I, instead, slashed your will to live through a message

I, who hoped that you wouldn't be loved anymore,

I froze when I saw you hand-in-hand with him, happy

I'd like to do the same,

I don't want to understand, you've clearly become attached to him,

I thought that that your world went round only in my presence

And now that the wheel has turned, you're not even sorry.

Oh, you say that I chided you over everything, he complimented you

Oh, because I was distant and he clearly has feelings

And now I want, in his place, for it to be me

And in her place, for it to be you

Now you'd like to go back

Your place in my story,

I want to know that you still feel something

And for you to tell me that it should've

Been you.

Now that she's happy I see how your smile vanishes

And you think that in his place, it should've been you.

And now I want, in his place

For it to be me.

Now you'd like to go back

Your place in my story,

I want to know that you still feel something

And for you to tell me that it should've

It should've . . . been you,

It should've . . . been you,

Been you,

Been you,

It should've been you . . .
