Shoulda Been Simple

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]
