Shoulda Been Gone

I’ve been here before, open and closed that door
Am I really back for more, or did I ever leave at all
You got me playin this again, that game that we can’t win
I knew when you walked in I’d be up against the wall

You should have been gone just a little bit longer
Shoulda stayed away when you let me go
Given me a chance to get a lot stronger
You shoulda been gone….a little bit longer

It’s an old familiar place, trapped in your embrace
Makes it hard for me to face another morning light alone
But the love we make ain’t real, no matter how damn good it feels
It’s just a way to spin my wheels before I drive off on my own

You should have been gone just a little bit longer
Shoulda stayed away when you let me go
Given me a chance to get a lot stronger
You shoulda been gone….a little bit longer

You shoulda been gone oh you shoulda been long gone

You should have been gone just a little bit longer
Shoulda stayed away when you let me go
Given me a chance to get a lot stronger
You shoulda been gone….a little bit longer
