What i should have said

Intro – piano

The rain keeps falling on the glass,

Each drop a word I can’t take back.

I see your shadow in the hall,

A memory I can’t recall.

I spoke too soon, I turned away,

Left all the truth I meant to say.

Now silence fills the space instead,

With all the things I left unsaid.

I should’ve held you when you cried,

Should’ve stayed right by your side.

Now I’m haunted by the words I never said.

If I could turn the night around,

Undo the hurt, unmake the sound,

I’d whisper all the love I hid instead

All the things I should have said.

Interlude

The clock keeps ticking, slow and cold,

The story’s done, but not untold.

Your laughter lingers in the air,

A ghost that knows I wasn’t fair.

I built my walls, I shut you out,

Too proud to face my fear and doubt.

Now every song reminds my heart,

Of how I let us fall apart.

Build

I should’ve held you when you cried,

Should’ve stayed right by your side.

Now I’m haunted by the words I never said.

If I could turn the night around,

Undo the hurt, unmake the sound,

I’d whisper all the love I hid instead

All the things I should have said.

Solo

Maybe someday you’ll hear this tune,

And know it’s written just for you.

A melody of my mistakes,

A heart that broke but never breaks.

I should’ve held you when you cried,

Should’ve stayed right by your side.

Now I’m haunted by the words I never said.

If I could turn the night around,

Undo the hurt, unmake the sound,

I’d whisper all the love I hid instead

All the things I should have said.

Fade

The rain still falls, the night still ends,

But I still dream of making amends.

And every note I play, I dread

It’s all the things I should have said.
