LYRICS
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
And now you’ve lost the words to say you’re sorry
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
But somehow, little Mama, you didn’t know
Sorrow’s the sinker but anger is easier
You shoulda done better
Grief is a mountain we kick instead of mountin’ it
You shoulda done better
You hurt me bad without even trying
You make it look easy but the truth is it’s over your head
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
And now you’ve lost the words to say you’re sorry
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
But somehow, little Mama, you didn’t know
Rage, rage, rage, blood red vision
Comes in waves, waves, waves, like a stone cold killer
I could write a book on all the parts of me you took
And how you shoulda known better
Or gather up what’s left and write a pretty little hook
Singing, "You shoulda known better”
You’d cry, “I hate this song, it hurts my feelings“
And I’d say, “That must be hard for you…”
And the irony would fly over your head
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
And now you’ve lost the words to say you’re sorry
You shoulda been there for me
You shoulda been there for me
But somehow, little Mama
How? Why?
I wish I could say the music is all comin’ together easily
But the grief and indignation are eatin’ me alive
And the only thing I‘ve really got goin’ for me is honesty
I mean honestly, I’ve no other way to write
With your pretty face branded in the back of my mind
How? Why?
The sweetness of your memory cuts the bitter of remembering’
That you shoulda done better
I long lean in close and kiss the corners of the reveries
Of when we were together
But my resentment saves me from heavier feelings
‘Cause forgiveness means missing you, and missing you only hurts
Forgiveness means missing you, and missing you only hurts
