Should Have Said

by Twan - Aries

I want to love you the way you deserve to be loved
I want the words I say to penetrate that shell
I want to rewind the tape and change the outcome from
The one that leads me to the spot I am today

There is no time for us to speak
On the side of Minne Creek.
Words I don't get to say
I hate the games we had to play
Hate the way it is today
I can't be there

But I lose my nerve and opportunity slides past
I lost you to another who knew you best
I want to let it go and shake away the cold
But it clings to me and drives me to the edge

And there's no love there I can see
Still love you, do you love me?
Don't want to know
I should have spoke these words back then
couldn't form them right within
Way too slow

Maybe I'm just trying to get back to myself
Maybe I know less then I'm letting on
Maybe we'll be together, and there's hope there yet
But I'm not psychic, I can't tell

Sometimes I find myself dreaming about our time
I should have said those times how I felt in those days
Now for all these words written I can only wish you well.
