Things I Should've Said

Fleur East


Didn't like your mama anyway
She was always in the way
Never liked the jokes that you made
But I laughed all the same

And when you forgot my birthday
I made excuses
Boy, you're so useless
Always had your way
I left you to it
And I

I gave you your confidence
And dressed you with compliments
I swallowed my pride
And I choked on your promises
You took all my love
I gave you my fucks
Now it just sucks
That I didn't tell you this (Oh)
When I wanted to
Now all I've got are the things I should've said

Can't believe I made you feel a ten
When your heart was a two
I gave you all of me
For only half of you

And when you forgot my birthday
I made excuses
Boy, you're so useless
Always had your way
I left you to it
And I

I gave you your confidence
And dressed you with compliments
I swallowed my pride
And I choked on your promises
You took all my love
I gave you my fucks
Now it just sucks
That I didn't tell you this (Oh)
When I wanted to
Now all I've got are the things I should've said

Should've let you go
My heart was saying no
I take back my love
You've had enough
It cuts me to the bone
Wish you would've known
‘Cause I, I, I

I gave you your confidence
And dressed you with compliments
I swallowed my pride
And I choked on your promises
