Had every word prepared
Wasn't even scared
Rehearsed the scene a million times and 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
So when I'm too long
And telling you what's wrong
I tryed and couldn't bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I've tryed
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
[X2]
There's no time for fear
visions kinda happen
No matter how this ends today, I wanna leave here as friends
It's not that I don't love you (Don't love you)
Don't think that I don't care (Don't care)
We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there
And it's written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt
What's gonna hurt
So when I'm too long
And telling you, "Be strong."
I tryed and couldn't bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I've tryed
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
[X2]
Remember the day that we said that we wouldn't change
We changed
'Cause nothing's the same anymore since that day
That day
Shoulda been, Shoulda been, Shoulda been
(Shoulda been, Shoulda been)
[X4]
Shoulda been, Shoulda been, Shoulda been
(Oh-oh)
[X2]
