In Shouldville
In Shouldville
I should have told you from the start that none of this was right
I should never have left my life behind
I should have listened to my head but my heart did win the fight
Very few words there are for me to find
Certainly not any that are kind
I live with you yet live alone
This place I rest, it isn't home
I should have waited, found my feet
I'm trapped here now, I should have known
I shouldn't be here, I admit defeat
But from here where on earth do I go?
I have left behind everything I ever knew
What once was mine is eight feet below
I should have stuck with the old, not been in with the new
You don't love me now, that much is clear, that much is true
I should have listened to them all
But pride won out, they say it comes before a fall
I cannot stay
I should away
But I cannot say. I shouldn't stay... It's far too hard to make that call.
