Lyrics
People said that together, we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were dear to me
And every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us asunder
Too late to realize how far apart we'd grown
And how I wish I (I wish I), wish I'd done a little bit more
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (means I'm out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool, yeah
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about, hm
I tell 'em everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life, there's a love that I put aside
'Cause I was busy loving something else
And so for every little thing you hold on to
You've gotta let something else go
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more (a little more, yeah)
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (I'm out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (said I wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool
If I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not that strong
I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (oh, out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (said I wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool, yeah
And how I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
'Cause now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder ("shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time)
Wonder what I'm gonna do ("shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind)
