I shouldn't have let you get so close, let you pierce me with your eyes, let you own me. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have been so naive, been so blind to your intentions, believed you meant well. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have submitted to your sin, the stain I now must bear, I will not wash clean. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have ignored what they said, they were right. I should have seen the vicegrip that you claimed as love was around my neck and not my heart. I should have! I should have left long before I made so many mistakes, decisions can't be undone. I should have. I should have.

I Shouldn't Have
I shouldn't have let you get so close, let you pierce me with your eyes, let you own me. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have been so naive, been so blind to your intentions, believed you meant well. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have submitted to your sin, the stain I now must bear, I will not wash clean. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have ignored what they said, they were right. I should have seen the vicegrip that you claimed as love was around my neck and not my heart. I should have! I should have left long before I made so many mistakes, decisions can't be undone. I should have. I should have.
