Shoulda

Verse 1

I should be working harder

I could be staying late

I would have gotten farther

But something makes me hesitate

Verse 2

I should be eating better

I could’ve lost some weight

I would have had more kale

But now there's french fries on my plate

Pre-chorus

Why can’t I just let myself be?

What does that say about me?

Chorus

Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas

Keep on keeping me up

All these expectations arеn’t filling me up

They’re mеssing with my mind

Oh I just can’t hide, I’m terrified

Verse 3

I should be getting out more

I could be on the map

I would have found somebody

But now I’m stuck home on these apps

Verse 4

I should save for my future

I could have bought less crap

I would have split the Uber

But my credit card has hit it’s cap

Pre-chorus

Why can’t I just let myself be?

What does that say about me?

Chorus

Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas

Keep on keeping me up

All these expectations aren’t filling me up

They’re messing with my mind

Oh I just can’t hide, I’m terrified

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

But I’m giving you up

All the overthinking, now I’m making it stop

You can’t mess with my mind

There’s no need to try, I’m satisfied

Bridge

I shouldn’t sleep in till 10

I shouldn’t be a bad friend

I never mean to offend

I couldn’t pick up the phone

I couldn’t leave it alone

I need to be on my own

I wouldn’t be as strung out

I wouldn’t have all this doubt

Guess that’s what life is about

I should have straightened my hair

I could have tried not to care

I would’ve learned something

Chorus:

Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas

Keep on keeping me up

All these expectations aren’t filling me up

They’re messing with my mind

Oh I just can’t hide, I’m terrified

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

But I’m giving you up

All the overthinking, now I’m making it stop

No you can’t mess with my mind

No need to try, I’m satisfied
