"It Shoulda' Been You Gorden" is about the feeling you get when you feel like everything you hold sacred was destroyed before your eyes.
See: Film, "Stand By Me".
Lyrics
i felt the whole world caving in
into the black abyss
i watched the sunset slip
to where only dark exists
i watched the clouds part
and fill the sky with blackness
but no pain lives up to this
can you feel my heart breaking
piece by piece onto this floor
i'm a mistake not worth making
i'm just the burden that you wore
i watched the concrete cut the sky
as screams rolled off their tongues
i watched priests drop all their books
and abandon all their love
i've seen it all
and never cared to look twice
i've lost it all
all i have are these lies
can you feel my heart breaking
piece by piece onto this floor
i'm a mistake not worth making
i'm just the burden that you wore
and now i can't see
the daybreak in the morning
or the color leaving your face
when i'm holding
i've seen it all
i've lost it all
