I Should Have Kissed You

I SHOULD HAVE KISSED YOU - Written by Carroll 

They say it’s a feeling

And soon it will go away

There’s nothing to compare it to

So I’m left with remnants of the day

It was your birthday

And somehow

I managed to take a bite of your heart

It was your birthday

And somehow

It ended way before it could start

I let you down

This I know

Now I am paying the price

What comes around

Goes around they claim

And it’s scaring me to know that they’re right

How could I have let you walk away?

What kind of fool am I?

I should have kissed you

And held you

Deep into the burning night

I should have told you I loved you

Instead of picking yet another fight

I lose control when I’m with you

My passion boils hotter than coals

I'm a lost soul and this is true

That’s not an excuse and I know

But hear me out for one more time

I’ll tell you all that’s on my mind

First things first and you will find

I should have just kissed you tonight

It’s so revealing

These emotions I wear on my sleeve

I keep on stealing and stealing

Dreams you fought so hard to believe

It was your birthday

And somehow

I was able to put it aside

It was your birthday

And somehow

It ended with you horrified

I am the clown

This I know

Now I am beginning to see

That up is down

And what I found in you

Is beginning to slip away from me

How could I have let you leave like that?

Do idiots grow on trees?

I should have kissed you

And held you

Deep into the burning night

I should have told you I loved you

Instead of picking yet another fight

I lose control when I’m with you

My passion boils hotter than coals

I'm a lost soul and this is true

That’s not an excuse and I know

But hear me out for one more time

I’ll tell you all that’s on my mind

First things first and you will find

I should have just kissed you tonight

This merry-go-round keeps on spinning

Gravity won’t let it stop

You keep on telling me everything you mean to me

I’m everything you think that I’m not

I let you down

This I know

Now I am paying the price

What comes around

Goes around they claim

And it’s scaring me to know that they’re right

How could I have let you walk away?

What kind of fool am I?

It was your birthday

And I let you walk away

It was your birthday

I should have kissed you

And held you

Deep into the burning night

I should have told you I loved you

Instead of picking yet another fight

I lose control when I’m with you

My passion boils hotter than coals

I'm a lost soul and this is true

That’s not an excuse and I know

But hear me out for one more time

I’ll tell you all that’s on my mind

First things first and you will find

I should have just kissed you tonight

But hear me out if you don’t mind

I’ll tell you now because it’s time

First things first, I am so blind

I should have just kissed you tonight
