I Should Have Loved You Better
Love's Regret: Unveiling Heartbreak in 'I Should Have Loved You Better'
Lyrics
Loving you was all I could do
Loving you was the only thing I was capable of doing.
But I consumed you with those little white lies
My actions of deceit overwhelmed and devoured our relationship.
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Questioning if this emotional turmoil is the expected sensation of love.
Loosing my baby would make my heart bleed
If I lose my beloved, it will cause intense emotional pain.
I should be loving you instead I'm not
I should be showing love to you, but unfortunately, I am not.
So excuse me if I may
Asking for forgiveness for my behavior.
These memories baby
Recalling shared memories with you, dear.
They seem to blur my crystal vision
Reflecting on how those memories blur my clear understanding of things.
Do what you want with me
Giving permission for you to do anything with me.
Take it all
Offering everything I have.
But is it enough?
Questioning whether what I offered was sufficient.
I should have loved you better
Realizing I didn't love you as well as I should have.
Instead I just acted like I didn't care
Admitting that my actions showed a lack of care instead of genuine love.
I should have loved you better
Expressing regret for not showing better love, resulting in both of us being lost.
Now we're both lost in this love affair
Conveying the missed opportunity to love each other more profoundly.
I should have loved you better
Reiterating the regret of not providing adequate love.
Instead I just acted like you wasn't there
Regretting my neglectful behavior, making you feel unnoticed.
I should have loved you better
Realizing I failed to show the expected level of love.
You expected no less of my savoir faire
Acknowledging that you anticipated more from my sophistication and elegance.
I should have loved you better
Repeated acknowledgment of the failure to love adequately.
I should have loved you better
-I should have loved you better
-Looking back now, it wasn't all me
Reflecting that the issues in the relationship were not solely my fault.
You had some secrets of your own that's true
Acknowledging that you also had undisclosed secrets.
Is this the part my heart should fall
Wondering if this is the moment when my heart should break.
What's the use baby of making this work
Questioning the usefulness of trying to salvage the relationship.
We both should let it go
Suggesting that both of us should move on from this relationship.
Oh yeah we should
Emphasizing the necessity of moving on.
But there's still more to say
Feeling there are still things left unsaid.
These memories
Reflecting on shared memories that cloud your clear understanding.
They seem to blur your crystal vision
Realizing that past memories distort your perception.
Is it too late to fix, to fix it all now
Asking if it's too late to rectify and fix all the past mistakes.
To fix it all?
Questioning if it's still possible to fix everything.
You should have loved me better
Repeated sentiments indicating the other person's failure to love adequately.
Instead you just acted like you didn't care
-You should have loved me better
-Now we're both lost in this love affair
-You should have loved me better
-Instead you just acted like I wasn't there
-You should have loved me better
-I expected no less of your savoir faire
-You should have loved me better
-Hello?
-Your kiss, your smell
Expressing deep affection and longing for specific aspects of the partner.
I know to well
-Those eyes, that smile
-It's worth my while
-Your voice, your touch
-I need it so much
-I wish we tried
Expressing a wish for both parties to have made more effort.
Instead
Regretting the lack of effort.
You should have loved me better
Reiteration of the failure to love better and meet each other's expectations.
Instead you just acted like you didn't care
-I should have loved you better
-Now we're both lost in this love affair

-Instead you just acted like I wasn't there
-I should have loved you better
-You expected no less of my savoir faire
-I should have loved you better
