Things I Should've Said
Beyond the Window: Navigating Life's Narrow Roads with Joe Conway's Melody
Lyrics
I looked away when it got harder
I avoided facing difficulties or challenges.
Lies, a pretty face and it went on longer
Lies and a charming appearance prolonged a situation.
I tried to find a place to be quieter
I attempted to find a quieter place emotionally.
A smile replaced me being bitter
A smile replaced my bitterness.
I still regret what I didn’t say
I still feel remorse for not expressing myself.
Still a shadow in that cave
I remain a lingering presence in a challenging situation.
Chose to leave or I choose to stay
Choosing whether to leave or stay in a difficult circumstance.
Well I really chose not to be brave
I consciously avoided being courageous.
By the way, it really wasn’t okay what you said
The statement made was not acceptable.
By the way, you saw green but it was flashing red
Misunderstanding - what seemed positive was actually negative.
I don’t care that now it isn’t what you meant
Indifference to the current meaning of your words.
By the way, I’m saying all the things I should’ve said
I am now expressing the things I should have said earlier.
I walked off all the casualties
I distanced myself from the negative consequences.
Alive the quiet fell asleep
In the quiet, the problematic aspects became dormant.
Sunrise, blue skies gave me what I need
The positivity of sunrise and blue skies fulfilled my needs.
To find my mind, stop trying to please
To regain control of my thoughts, I stopped trying to please others.
I still regret what I didn’t say
Regret for not expressing myself persists.
Still a shadow in that cave
I remain a lingering presence in a challenging situation.
Chose to leave or I choose to stay
Choosing whether to leave or stay, now opting for bravery.
Well I really choose to be brave
I consciously choose to be brave.
By the way, it really wasn’t okay what you said
The statement made was not acceptable.
By the way, you saw green but it was flashing red
Misunderstanding - what seemed positive was actually negative.
I don’t care that now it isn’t what you meant
Indifference to the current meaning of your words.
By the way, I’m saying all the things I should’ve said
I am now expressing the things I should have said earlier.
Talk back, I give no slack to the guys that laugh, I talk back
I respond assertively to those who mock, refusing to yield.
Tired of that, ‘cause it’s still bad even if you can’t admit that
Tired of enduring negativity, even if others deny its impact.
By the way, it really wasn’t okay what you said
The statement made was not acceptable.
By the way, you saw green but it was flashing red
Misunderstanding - what seemed positive was actually negative.
I don’t care that now it isn’t what you meant
Indifference to the current meaning of your words.
By the way, I’m saying all the things I should’ve said
I am now expressing the things I should have said earlier.
By the way, it really wasn’t okay what you said
The statement made was not acceptable.
By the way, you saw green but it was flashing red
Misunderstanding - what seemed positive was actually negative.
I don’t care that now it isn’t what you meant
Indifference to the current meaning of your words.
By the way, I’m saying all the things I should’ve said
I am now expressing the things I should have said earlier.
Things I should’ve said
Reflecting on the things I should have expressed.
Things I should’ve
