SHOULDS

I should have danced with you
I should have held you tight
I should have told you that I loved you
I should have held you every night

I should have learned my lesson
When the tears fell from your eyes
I should have seen love dying
but I hid inside my lies

I should have sent you flowers
I should have poured you wine
I should have left you love notes
I should have made you mine

You never asked for much from me
Just the smallest little clue
That everything you did for me
Was finally getting through

I should have told you you're amazing
I should have shown the world
I should have written this so long ago
I should have told them you're my girl

But it was always my own self
I focused on the most
My issues, needs and hang-ups
My skeletons and ghosts

I should have stopped to kiss you
I should have, every day
I should have made you feel loved
I could have made you stay

Your love is so amazing
and now I finally see
The most selfish thing I could have done
was love you perfectly
