Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

Well, there comes a time

when a life is lived

to face yourself

and to see what gives.

Did you make your move?

And did you stake your claim?

Did you get a life?

Or did it stay the same?

When he caught your eye,

you looked the other way.

All you could do was sigh,

like he was in the way.

Now you need more proof,

but the moment’s gone.

Yeah, you missed your chance.

He’ll be movin’ on.

Don’t gimme shoulda.

Don’t gimme woulda.

Should woulda coulda in your own sweet time.

Don’t gimme shoulda.

Don’t gimme woulda.

You coulda risked it all and laid it on the line.

We distract ourselves

With our thoughts and deeds.

We blame someone else

If we don’t get what we need.

And the biggest fear

is the fear itself.

And the biggest lie

is the one you tell yourself.

Don’t gimme shoulda.

Don’t gimme woulda.

Should woulda coulda in your own sweet time.

Don’t gimme shoulda.

Don’t gimme woulda.

You coulda risked it all and laid it on the line.

Shoulda, woulda, shoulda woulda coulda...
