Should

Should

Should have ripped you off quickly like a band aid
It would have hurt but then you'd be gone
Instead you're coming off slowly, unfolding
The scar you made
Thought it was a scratch but it's been much too long

Should have accepted this was coming
How do you prepare for someone you don't know you'd meet?
I'm diseased with resentment, the present
Is numbing
There's no use for it now, should have kept the reciept

If I don't learn from our relationship
I'm bound to repeat it
I hope the next one I have sticks
Around long enough to complete it

You've got me upset to my stomach
with our memories, but what of it
I've got rope burn holding onto the good
Why's it so easy for you when I'm quesy?
Stuck on if I should
Let you forget you
And me
Never thought you would

Should have learned the etiquette
The ex rules, standard break-up laws
There's no compromise, the lies
That there's a right way to end it
I heard it all in your dramatic pause

If I don't learn from our relationship
I'm bound to repeat it
I hope the next one I have sticks
Around long enough to complete it

You've got me upset to my stomach
with our memories, but what of it
I've got rope burn holding onto the good
Why's it so easy for you when I'm quesy?
Stuck on if I should
Let you forget you
And me
Never thought you would

My heart attack's
Your hiccup
You give up
And don't look back

Should have done a lot of things
Even my hindsight's blurred
Refill the prescription, it's fiction
That we were pulling the strings
No matter what happened we could not be cured

You've got me upset to my stomach
with our memories, but what of it
I've got rope burn holding onto the good
Why's it so easy for you when I'm quesy?
Stuck on if I should
Let you forget you
And me
Never thought you would
