Shoulda Been Simple

I had every word prepared, I wasn't even scared
Rehearsed the scene a million times
Still felt nowhere
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
I know you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt, I don't want to hurt
[chorus]
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 tried
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(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 tryin' 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...
[chorus]
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, shouldna been shoulda been
shoulda been, shoulda been...
