Things I Should Have Said
Unspoken Regrets: The Heartfelt Plea I Never Made
Lyrics
I didn't cry
I refrained from crying
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
I just observed her bidding farewell
She closed the do-or
She closed the door
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Expressing that she no longer wants to see me
Things I should have said to her
Reflection on the things I regret not telling her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Expressing remorse for not saying things that might have convinced her to stay
Things I should have said to her
Reiteration of missed opportunities to communicate with her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"
Suggesting expressing love as a means to reconcile
Was it that she
Questioning if she couldn't comprehend the narrator
Just couldn't understand a man like me
Speculating on a possible lack of understanding
Was I to blame
Wondering if the narrator is at fault
Did I leave too many things unexplained?
Considering if insufficient explanations led to the situation
Things I should have said to her
Reiterating the remorse for unspoken words that could have made a difference
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Expressing the belief that certain words might have influenced her decision to stay
Things I should have said to her
Repeating the theme of missed communication and its potential impact
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way
Suggesting that expressing love could have been a way to resolve issues
Why didn't I try telling her
Questioning why the narrator didn't attempt to communicate the importance of the relationship
She was all I had
Acknowledging that she was the narrator's everything
Why didn't I try telling her
Reiterating the missed opportunity to express feelings and now feeling regret
Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
Expressing the deep regret and sorrow for her departure
I didn't cry
Reiterating the lack of tears during the departure
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
Repeating the act of watching her say goodbye without emotional expression
She closed the do-or
Reiteration of the closing of the door during the farewell
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Repeating her statement of not wanting to see the narrator anymore
Things I should have said to her [repeat to fade]
Reflecting on the things the narrator should have said to her (repeated to fade)
