lyrics

Shoulda Let You Drown

When I shoulda kept it tight, kept my feelings out of sight
I let my heart sing out at night, a beacon shining bright
When I shoulda sought the sky left sleeping dogs to lie
I looked deep into your eyes, saw your Jekyll felt your Hyde

When I shoulda pushed I held you strong
Whenever I was right I said I was wrong
You hated words so I sang you a song
A tale of love, that went on for far too long

When I shoulda turned around, let go and let you drown
I stood firm, I held my ground, paid with flesh by the pound
When I shoulda stayed for one more late night round
I looked away and shut it down, turned tail and I left town

Thought that my heart could melt your frost, could help you find what you had lost
Thought I could help you stand, could lift you up from outta your quick sand
Thought that my heart could melt your frost, could help you find what you had lost
Thought I could help you stand, could lift you up from outta your quick sand

When I shoulda dressed for war, worn my armour brought my sword
I walked naked in the field, open arms instead of steel
But when I shoulda sat for tea, talking peace treaty
I pulled the pin, threw grenade in, knowing it’d blow up everything

Thought that my heart could melt your frost, could help you find what you had lost
Thought I could help you stand, could lift you up from outta your quick sand
Thought that my heart could melt your frost, could help you find what you had lost
Thought I could help you stand, could lift you up from outta your quick sand
