Shoulda been simple Had every word prepared Wasn't even scared Rehearsed the scene a million times and still felt no where You were just down the hall Not knowing at all What was about to happen when i laid it on the line Cause it's written on my face Though you see it in my eyes How do you tell someone you love What's gonna hurt what's gonna hurt Don't wanna hurt don't wanna hurt you This went on too long And telling you what's wrong I tried and couldn't bring myself It shoulda been simple So many times i've tried The time was never right It was so complicated It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Fear just kinda happen No matter how this ends today i wanna leave here as friends It's not that i don't love you Don't think that i don't care We were trying to fly a plane the wings were just not there And it's written on my face Though you see it in my eyes How do you tell someone you love What's gonna hurt what's gonna hurt What's gonna hurt what's gonna hurt you This went on too long And telling you what's strong I tried and couldn't bring myself It shoulda been simple So many times i've tried The time was never right It was so complicated It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple Oh It shoulda been simple
