It never should've
(never should've),
happened to me.
You never let me
(never let me),
set you free.
Now I have to
(now I have to),
make this choice.
To let you die,
or shed my tears and cry.

Chorus
It should've never
(should've never)
happened to me!
It should've never
(should've never)
happened to US!
It should've never
(should've have never)
happened to you.
Give me a reason,
I'll set you free.

It never should've
(never should've),
happened to us.
We should've made it
(should've made it),
work that time.
Now I have to
(now I have to),
Pull the plug.
And let you die,
and shed my tears and cry.

Chorus

It never should've
(never should've)
happened to you.
You should've waited
(should've waited)
should've made do.
Now I have to
(now I have to)
take my leave.
Goodbye forever,
I once loved you.

Chorus

Give me a reason
Give me a rea-so-on!
Give m-e-e a reason,
I'll set you free.
I'll set you free.
Come back to me.

Author's Note: This is a song I wrote a long time ago and forgot about, but after the Terri Schaivo thing went down, it all came back to me. It's a pretty sad song, and even I wanted to cry when I finished it.
