Should’ve been easy, but it wasn’t.

Should’ve been painless, but it’s not.

Should’ve seen the truth in you, but I didn’t.

Should’ve done a lot of things so what; so what?

Could’ve just laid down and given up.

Could’ve tried to be somebody I wasn’t.

So what if some teardrops never fall?

So what if I never thought I’d love again.?
