I should have told you to stop
Right before you jump
I should have told you to try
Right before you sob and cry.

I should have hugged you tight
Right before you go for the flight.
I should have kissed you goodnight.
Right before we have the fight.

I should have told you how much you mean to me
Right before you forget me easily.
I should have told you how you've changed me
Right before you hate me.

I should have told you how much I care
Right before you go blue and wander no where
And I should have told you how much I love you
Right before the day you forget and go.
