Shoulda been simple

Had every word prepared

Wasn't even scared

Rehearsed the scene a million times and 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 what's gonna hurt

Don't wanna hurt don't wanna hurt you

This went on too long

And telling you what's wrong

I tried and couldn't bring myself

It shoulda been simple

So many times i've tried

The time was never right

It was so complicated

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Fear just kinda happen

No matter how this ends today i wanna leave here as friends

It's not that i don't love you

Don't think 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

Though you see it in my eyes

How do you tell someone you love

What's gonna hurt what's gonna hurt

What's gonna hurt what's gonna hurt you

This went on too long

And telling you what's strong

I tried and couldn't bring myself

It shoulda been simple

So many times i've tried

The time was never right

It was so complicated

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple

Oh

It shoulda been simple
