Should've Said No
Regret's Echo: Should've Said No by Homegrown Peaches
Lyrics
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
Reflecting on the past when they used to sing songs together
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
The happiness and positive aspects are no longer present
Yesterday I found out about you
Recently discovered something about the person
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
Seeing the person now feels uncomfortable or not right
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
The person regrets their actions and wishes for a chance to change them
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
Admitting a moment of weakness where they agreed to something
You should've said no, you should've gone home
Regretting not refusing or rejecting something
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
Regretting not considering the consequences before letting go of something important
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Realizing the impact of one's actions and the repercussions of their words or deeds
Would get back to me
Realization that their actions would eventually come to light or be known
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
Feeling neglected or overlooked in the thoughts of the other person
I shouldn't be asking myself why
Questioning the reason behind the situation or the other person's actions
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
The other person seeking forgiveness for their mistakes or wrongdoing
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
Expressing that refusing the situation might have kept the relationship intact
You can see that I've been crying
Visible signs of emotional distress (crying)
And baby you know all the right things: to say
Acknowledging that the person knows the right things to say to comfort
But do you honestly expect me to believe
Doubt about the possibility of returning to how things were before
We could ever be the same
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of restoring the relationship
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
Requesting a chance to make amends for past actions
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
Similar acknowledgment of a moment of weakness leading to regrettable actions
You should've said no, you should've gone home
Repeated regret for not refusing a situation or action
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
Regret for not considering the consequences before acting impulsively
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Understanding the repercussions of actions involving someone else
Would get back to me
Realization that actions have consequences and can lead to repercussions
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
Feeling disregarded or not prioritized in the other person's thoughts
I shouldn't be asking myself why
Questioning the reason behind the situation or the other person's actions (repeated)
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
The other person seeking forgiveness for their mistakes or wrongdoing (repeated)
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
Reiterating that refusal might have preserved the relationship
I can't resist, before you go, tell me this
Unable to resist asking a final question before the person leaves
Was it worth it
Questioning whether the actions were justified or worth the consequences
Was she worth this
Asking if the other person or their actions were worth the pain and turmoil
No, no no no
Expressing denial or disbelief at the situation
You should've said no, you should've gone home
Repeating regret for not refusing a situation or action (repeated)
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
Regret for not considering the consequences before acting impulsively (repeated)
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Understanding the repercussions of actions involving someone else (repeated)
Would get back to me
Realization that actions have consequences and can lead to repercussions (repeated)
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
Feeling disregarded or not prioritized in the other person's thoughts (repeated)
I shouldn't be asking myself why
Questioning the reason behind the situation or the other person's actions (repeated)
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
The other person seeking forgiveness for their mistakes or wrongdoing (repeated)
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
Reiterating that refusal might have preserved the relationship (repeated)
