Lyrics
Ooh, thinking about all the times I let you down
Now both my feet are firmly planted on the ground
Hurting you was never in my plan
I was trying to be the man
I try to reach you, but you won't answer my call
And I don't blame you
I'd never dream that you
You'd want nothing to do with me
I know it's true (shoulda been)
Instead of running around
I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)
And baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool
Who shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)
Who shoulda been loving you (shoulda been, ooh)
(Shoulda been loving you)
Oh, thinking about every time I lied right to your face
You saw right through me
But still you gave me my space
Shouldn't have to tell a grown man what to do
I thought I was so damn cool
Baby, I miss you
But you're moving on with your life
And I can't stop you
I could have never surmised
That I'd be standing all alone
With tears falling from my eyes
I know it's true (shoulda been)
Instead of running around
I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)
And baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool
Who shoulda been loving you
Oh, it's hard to watch you walk away from me
This is not, this is not the way
It was supposed to be
Heaven knows how hard I prayed
That Jesus could find a way
I would have done
I would have said anything to make you stay
This is not like anything in my life
That I've ever felt
What am I gonna do
The first time I see you hook up with somebody else
I think I might lose my mind
Inside my heart will be bleeding
