Shouldn't Matter but It Does

Lyrics

Shoulda been open
 Shoulda done more
 Shoulda learned a lesson from the year before
 Shoulda been honest
 Shoulda just cried
 Shoulda told me there was nothing left inside
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 
 We lost something, I still wonder what it was
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
 ♪
 You shoulda just broken
 You shoulda come clean
 You shoulda been sad instead of being so fucking mean
 It shouldn't be easy
 But it shouldn't be hard
 You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 I know it's over, I'm just saying this because
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
 ♪
 I shouldn't be angry
 I shouldn't hold on
 I shouldn't leave you messages in every little song
 It could have been always
 It could have been me
 We could have been busy naming baby number three
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 If it's on someone, then I blame the both of us
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it
 Shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it
 Shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
 
 Shoulda been open
 Shoulda done more
 Shoulda learned a lesson from the year before
 Shoulda been honest
 Shoulda just cried
 Shoulda told me there was nothing left inside
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 
 We lost something, I still wonder what it was
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
 ♪
 You shoulda just broken
 You shoulda come clean
 You shoulda been sad instead of being so fucking mean
 It shouldn't be easy
 But it shouldn't be hard
 You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 I know it's over, I'm just saying this because
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
 ♪
 I shouldn't be angry
 I shouldn't hold on
 I shouldn't leave you messages in every little song
 It could have been always
 It could have been me
 We could have been busy naming baby number three
 Now the road keeps rolling on forever
 And the years keep pulling us apart
 If it's on someone, then I blame the both of us
 It shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it
 Shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it
 Shouldn't matter
 Shouldn't matter, but it does
