"You Shoulda Seen Her" lyrics

Can't say that they didn't warn me
You're better off alone, just let the girl go
All this hurt could've been avoided
If I let the door close, just let the girl go
And they said, "That one's gonna break your heart"

But you should've seen her that first night
She was standin' in a holy light
I swear the sky cracked open to Heaven
Felt like time stood still for a second
You should've seen her, you'd understand
Holdin' the weight of my world in her hands
She made the room disappear for a minute
Like it was just the two of us in it
They said I lost my mind tryna make a stayer out of a leaver
But you should've seen her

Can't say that I don't know better
'Cause I do, still I choose, uh-huh-huh
Holdin' on to ties she severed
I'm a fool, she'd cut them loose, cut them loose
'Cause I saw this comin' from the start

But you should've seen her that first night
She was standin' in a holy light
I swear the sky cracked open to Heaven
Felt like time stood still for a second
You should've seen her, you'd understand
Holdin' the weight of my world in her hands
She made the room disappear for a minute
Like it was just the two of us in it
They said I lost my mind tryna make a stayer out of a leaver
But you should've seen her (Ooh, you should've seen it)

And my friends don't understand it
They say that it's self-inflicted damage
They tell me to "get out while you can and save yourself"

But you should've seen her that first night
She was standin' in a holy light
I swear the sky cracked open to Heaven
Felt like time stood still for a second
You should've seen her, you'd understand
Holdin' the weight of my world in her hands
She made the room disappear for a minute
Like it was just the two of us in it
They said I lost my mind tryna make a stayer out of a leaver
But you should've seen her (Ooh, you should've seen it)

You should've seen her
Ooh-ooh-ooh
