[Intro]
I should of seen the signs, but I ignored the warning
I should of held you tighter when your world was storming
[Verse 1]
I should of loved you more, when you needed me the most
I should of stayed and fought, instead I let you go
I shouldn't of played those games, or let my pride run wild
I should of told you then, that I still want you to be my child
[Pre-Chorus]
I should of listened, when your voice was trembling
I shouldn't of broken promises, my heart was pretending
[Chorus]
I should of never took you for granted, now you're gone
I should of shown you every day, how much you belong
I should of cherished every moment, that we had
I shouldn't of let love slip away, making me sad
[Verse 2]
I should of never raised my voice, in the quiet of your tears
I should of saw the damage, growing with my fears
I shouldn't of stayed silent, when I knew I was wrong
I should of held on tighter, all along
[Pre-Chorus]
I should of listened, when your heart was breaking
I shouldn't of let this love, keep on aching
[Chorus]
I should of never took you for granted, now you're gone
I should of shown you every day, how much you belong
I should of cherished every moment, that we had
I shouldn't of let love slip away, making me sad
[Bridge]
Now I stand in the silence, regret in my eyes
I should of made you see, you're my greatest prize
I should of loved you better, with all I had inside
Now I’m lost in the memories, where your love used to abide
[Outro]
I should of never took you for granted, but now I see
I should of loved you better, and set my heart free
