Marie Digby Shoulda Been Simple lyrics

Had every word prepared, wasn't even scared
Rehearsed the scene a million times still felt no where
You were just down the hall not knowing at all
What was about to happen when I laid it on the line

'Cause it's written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt? Don't wanna hurt

This went on too long
I'm telling you what's wrong
Tried but couldn't bring myself
Shoulda been simple

So many times I've tried
The time was never right
It was so complicated
Shoulda been simple

Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple

Let's not point the finger, this just kinda happened
No matter how this ends today I wanna leave here as friends
It's not that I don't love you, don't feel that I don't care
We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there

And it's written on my face
I know you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What's gonna hurt? What's gonna hurt?


This went on too long
I'm telling you what's wrong
Tried but couldn't bring myself
Shoulda been simple

So many times I've tried
The time was never right
It was so complicated
Shoulda been simple

Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple
Shoulda been simple

Remember the day that we said we wouldn't change?
But we changed
'Cause nothing's the same anymore since that day, that day

Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been

Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been

Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
Shoulda been, shoulda been, shoulda been
