Things I Should Have Said

(Tommy L. Day)

A lyric about the importance of communication in a relationship. The last thing we want to do is leave a loved one behind with regrets of important words unsaid. That’s what this song is about at its heart.

(v1)
There are things I should have said 
But I couldn’t get them out of my own head 
If only I’d made up my mind
but I just couldn’t decide, I was blind 

(Refrain)
Should have let my feelings show
How can I ever let you know 
All the things I should have said 

(v2)
There are things I should have said
But love became a stranger instead 
Promised we would work it out 
But our love was consumed by fear and doubt 

(Refrain)
My heart filled with rain 
How could I ever stand the pain of
All the things I should have said 

(Bridge)
In the beginning, all was right 
We were happy morning, noon and night
But every problem became a fight 
I put it out of mind and out of sight 

(v3)
But there are things I should have said 
Love can’t last if you keep them in your head 
If you’ll say it’s not too late 
I know we can still rewrite our own fate 

(Refrain)
If I could talk to you today 
I would promise to convey 
All the things I should have said 

(Bridge)
In the beginning, all was right 
We were happy morning, noon and night
But every problem became a fight 
I put it out of mind and out of sight 

(v3)
But there are things I should have said 
Love can’t last if you keep them in your head 
If you’ll say it’s not too late 
I know we can still rewrite our own fate 

(Refrain)
If I could talk to you today 
I would promise to convey 
All the things I should have said 

(Outro)
Things I should have said 
Things I should have said

More Than Our Lies
