"Shouldn't Matter But It Does" lyrics

"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 broke in
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
It 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 coulda been always
It coulda been me
We coulda 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
