Shoulda

(album: The Resolution - 2011)

I thought about sitting back
Straight denying it
But I knew that you deserved more
So I faced the music
And you left in a fit
I'm wondering what I told the truth for

And now you're flaunting him
At our favourite joint
Knowing that it'll get back to me
Girl, enough already
You've already made your point
Why can't you accept I'm sorry?

Now you're taking every chance
To throw it in my face
Just to show me now that you lost it
I know I hurt you bad
But what you're doing now is no different
You don't really love him

Now I've got nothing left
You never learnt to forgive and forget
You're ripping my heart out of my chest
Whoever said truth is always best
Didn't know nothing [x3]

I shoulda kept my mouth shut
I coulda kept my mouth shut
I shoulda kept my mouth shut

Now you don't want to leave
But maybe you should
Even though I know you love me
You've just go to get even
I wish I'd never seen
This side of you because it's ugly

I told you I messed up
Like a man I fessed up
Coulda been simple, this is mean
Instead you punished me
When you gonna be satisfied?
By that time I may not be here

Okay you've won, you've torn me down
But don't think that you're above me
Girl you're playing yourself now, I know you still love me
But you're killing it, you're killing it

Now I've got nothing left
You never learnt to forgive and forget
You're ripping my heart out of my chest
Whoever said truth is always best
Didn't know nothing [x3]

Remember all the plans that we made
Like taking the trip in the summer time to Spain
Forget about all the evil things we said
And remember that time we made love at the park in the rain
I can't look deep into the future and predict how its all gonna be
But I want this to work and I know you're still hurt
But you're killing me, you're killing me

Now we've got nothing left
You never learnt to forgive and forget
You're ripping my heart out of my chest
Whoever said truth is always best
Didn't know nothing [x3]
And now we've got nothing left
You never learnt to forgive and forget
You're ripping my heart out of my chest
Whoever said truth is always best
Didn't know nothing [x3]

I shoulda kept my mouth shut
'Cause then we wouldn't be here
I shoulda kept my mouth shut
But I didn't
