[Verse 1]
If I'da stayed back home
Never spread my wings
Let you build that house
Let you buy that ring
If Id'a put down my dreams to put you first
I coulda been her

[Verse 2]
If I'da dyed my hair
If I'da lost that weight
If I'da worn that dres
And let you change my name
I'd still be wakin' up in your T-shirt
I coulda been her

[Chorus]
If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile
Probably coulda made it work for a while
Cried in the dark instead of screamin'
There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin'
If I'da buried my feelings
Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat
I coulda been her
But that wouldn't be me
[Verse 3]
No, it wouldn't be me
To let you get away
With every word you'd twist
And every bed you made
If I'da just hung around, not knowin' my worth
I could've been her

[Chorus]
If I'da shut my mouth, faked that smile
Probably coulda made it work for a while
Cried in the dark instead of screamin'
There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceilin'
If I'da buried my feelings
Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat
I coulda been her
But that wouldn't be me
That wouldn't be me

[Outro]
If I'da just gave up
The standards I have
Let you hit your knees
And beg me on back
If I'da just sold my soul for a love that cheap
I coulda been her
But that wouldn't be me
That wouldn't be me
