i should have told you

after the laughter passes by

and what remains are shadows of the truth you try to hide

and for our sins left never reconciled

the simple truth is hearts were made just to fail

no matter how we try

if i don't see you again

i only hope someday you understand

time turns good love to goodbye

i should have told you

it's all it would ever be

and so we face the silence of another memory

and draw the shades down upon a scene we once believed

so before you walk away

and i just walk on out just know

if i don't see you again

i only hope someday you understand

time turns good love to goodbye

i should have told you

it's all it would ever be

i don't know why

or are we learning all the way

or is it all just wasted time

or someday maybe we will find our way

if i don't see you again

i hope someday you understand

time turns good love to goodbye

i should have told you

it's all it would ever be

i should have told you

it's all it would ever be
