I Should've Loved You

OVERVIEW
Changing Keys
This piece came from the quiet inventory you take on long drives — except in this case, the drive never happened. There were places we meant to go. I was certain there would be time. I was also certain I was right. Both turned out to be negotiable. The verses sit in one key. The chorus shifts, like life does, without asking whether you’re ready for it.

LYRICS
Golden days are in the past
Living young can never last
I should’ve loved you, I should’ve loved you
My head of hair has gone to gray
And stubborn traits are here to stay
I fear forever, oh
I found your picture in an old shoe box
From the summer at the lake when you said that I’d be your only one
But golden days are done
I should’ve loved you, when you were standing there by my side
I should’ve loved you, but I think it’s too late to apologize
I should’ve loved you, when I had more time on my plate
I should’ve loved you, but I think it’s too late to apologize
My heart and soul begins to break
When I look back on my mistakes
Can you forgive me
You wanted trips in long car rides
But I refused to make the time
Now I want it, now I want it
These days my solace comes in one night stands
With a name I won’t learn and a drink and my hand
It’s predictable, It’s so predictable
I should’ve loved you, when you were standing there by my side
I should’ve loved you, but I think it’s too late to apologize
I should’ve loved you, when I had more time on my plate
I should’ve loved you, but I think it’s too late to apologize
