Had every word prepared, wasn't even scared Rehearsed the scene a million times still felt no where You were just down the hall not knowing at all What was about to happen when I laid it on the line
'Cause it's written on my face Though you see it in my eyes How do you tell someone you love What's gonna hurt? Don't wanna hurt
This went on too long I'm telling you what's wrong Tried but couldn't bring myself Shoulda been simple
So many times I've tried The time was never right It was so complicated Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple
Let's not point the finger, this just kinda happened No matter how this ends today I wanna leave here as friends It's not that I don't love you, don't feel that I don't care We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there
And it's written on my face I know you see it in my eyes How do you tell someone you love What's gonna hurt? What's gonna hurt?
This went on too long I'm telling you what's wrong Tried but couldn't bring myself Shoulda been simple
So many times I've tried The time was never right It was so complicated Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple Shoulda been simple
Remember the day that we said we wouldn't change? But we changed 'Cause nothing's the same anymore since that day, that day
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
