You Could've Been Me

I could have been you ...
Take a look at the sky
Heaven seems so far away
I've stood under the rain
Felt it seep into my brain
I've shut my eyes
Crawled into the mud
I'm afraid of growing old
And shiver when I'm cold
I could have been you
You could have been me
One small change that shapes our destiny
We bleed the same way
If you need proof
Cut me and you will see
Take a walk inside my shoes
A path I did not choose
Change is turning into fear
Fear is melting into hate
Touch what I feel
And know I believe everything I say
I could have been you
You could have been me
