Leave it up to Carly to say it right

I found this song by Carly Simon "It Should Have Been Me". All of the words don't apply, considering I don't think it should have been me. Yet, some of them truly do. I'm putting up the ones that struck a chord in me. Words that have been tumbling around in my head and heart recently.

I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we're friends
I don't want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know

My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start
