Shoulda
Unraveled Promises: Janelle de la Rosa's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
You used to love me where did that go
You reminisce about the past when I was loved by you, and now that love seems to have disappeared.
You used to call me on my cell phone
Recalling a time when you used to contact me frequently via phone.
I used to write you love songs
Reflecting on the past when I used to express my affection through love songs for you.
But lately this duet feels like a solo
The collaboration in our relationship now feels one-sided, as if I'm performing a solo act.
I waited for you for so long
I patiently waited for your presence for an extended period, but now it seems you have someone else secretly.
But you got someone on the low
Realizing that you are involved with someone else in a discreet manner.
Spent one too many nights alone
Enduring numerous lonely nights, spending time alone.
It’s ok it don’t really matter anymore
Expressing a sense of indifference, implying that it doesn't matter much anymore.
What if I just let go of all that shit
Contemplating the idea of letting go of all emotional baggage.
Said fuck it and move on
A decision to move on and forget about the past.
Maybe you’d see how good you had it with me
Suggesting that recognizing my worth might make you realize the value you had with me.
But you’re on your own and you shoulda known better
Emphasizing that you are now alone, and it's a consequence of your own actions, implying a missed opportunity.
Shoulda meant it when you told me forever
Stating that you should have taken the commitment seriously when you promised forever.
Shoulda thought twice for all the lies you ever
Regretting the numerous lies told, urging introspection.
Said to me I’m fed up and ready to let go
Expressing frustration and readiness to move on from the relationship.
‘Cause you shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
Reiterating the idea that you should have known better, emphasizing missed opportunities for understanding.
Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
Repeated emphasis on the idea that you should have known better.
Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-You shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
-I used to like you, but now I don’t
Admitting a change in feelings from liking you to not liking you anymore.
Had something special, now it’s all gone
Acknowledging the loss of something special that used to exist between us.
You think I want you hell no
Rejecting the idea of wanting you anymore, posing a question about your feelings of being in the wrong.
Tell me how does it feel to be the one who’s wrong
Asking about the emotions of being on the wrong side of the situation.
Gave you the things you needed most
Providing the necessary support and essentials in the relationship.
Making up reasons to hold on
Creating excuses to hold onto the relationship despite the challenges.
But you were stringing me along
Realizing that you were leading me on with false hopes and promises.
So Imma cut you off when it’s said and done
Deciding to end the relationship definitively.
What if I just let go of all that shit
Contemplating letting go of emotional baggage once again.
Said fuck it and move on
Deciding to move forward and not dwell on past issues.
Maybe you’d see how good you had it with me
Positing that recognizing the value of the relationship might lead to regret.
But you’re on your own and you shoulda known better
Reiterating the idea that you should have known better, emphasizing the consequences of actions.
Shoulda meant it when you told me forever
-Shoulda thought twice for all the lies you ever
-Said to me I’m fed up and ready to let go
-‘Cause you shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
Repeated emphasis on the idea that you should have known better.
Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-You shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
Stating again that you should have known better.
What if I just let go of all that shit
Repetition of the contemplation of letting go and moving on.
Said fuck it and move on
-Maybe you’d see how good you had it with me
-But you’re on your own and you shoulda known better
-Shoulda meant it when you told me forever
Reiterating the consequences of not taking the commitment seriously and expressing readiness to move on.
Shoulda thought twice for all the lies you ever
-Said to me I’m fed up and ready to let go
-‘Cause you shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
-Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
Final repetition of the idea that you should have known better.
Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, shoulda known
-You shoulda known, you shoulda known ah
