You Shoulda Known - Mathai

There’s a song in the air

For those who don’t care

And those who know better

You don’t know better

Shake the dust of your feet

Don’t you dare take a seat

The skies may all be clear

But we’re all down here

(You coulda)

Acted like you would put up a fight

(I woulda)

Even you might heart for the prize

(If you woulda)

Help me out, out of the cold

(And I coulda)

Had someone to hold, you shoulda known

I should have mattered

But you saw right through my cries

When my hands reach out to you

You shoulda known

How to fix what was shattered

So many things you coulda have shown

If only you’d known

So don’t stroke my hair

It’s not even fair

Cuz' then I’ll be lost in you again

Stuck in the ride again

You say that I’m cool

But lets not

I’ve yet to be

For a single day

(You coulda)

Realized that I was your life

(I woulda)

Given you all of my life

(If you woulda)

Help me out, out of the cold

(Then I coulda)

Had someone to hold on

You shoulda known

I should have mattered

But you saw right through my cries

When my hands reached out to you

You shoulda known

How to fix what was shattered

So many things you coulda shown if only you’d known

And from now I’ll be waking

From this nightmare you created

If only you hadn’t given up, on us

You shoulda known

I shoulda mattered

But you sat right through my cries

When my hands reached out to you

You shoulda known

How to fix something shattered

So many things you coulda shown

If only you’d known

You shouda known
