Could Be Should Be Lyrics

I don't wanna hurt, but I know this is gonna hurt

So I won't say the words, but I have to say the words

Oh, I don't wanna need you, but I think I need to miss you

Oh, I don't wanna hurt, but I know this is gonna hurt

Hold my breath, hold your heart

This is the worst, the hardest part

So I'll rip off the band-aid

Take a stab at the pain

See if I can move past every way we need to change

But it's hard because I love you, and my head says this is good

But inside of me is screaming, this isn't what it could be, should be

I fumble through my silly words with serious gravity

You look at me with empty eyes with disappointed disbelief

I can't see life without you, but I have to move on alone

Oh, I don't wanna hurt you, but I have to let you go

Hold my breath, hold your heart

This is the worst, the hardest part

So I'll rip off the band-aid, take a stab at the pain

See if I can move past every way we need to change

But it's hard because I love you, and my head says this is good

But inside of me is screaming, this isn't what it could be, should be

Write another song, drink another drink

Take another moment to sing you what I think

It could've been us, should've been us, but we weren't meant to be

So this is where I tell you, this isn't what it could be, should be

So I'll rip off the band-aid, take a stab at the pain

See if I can move past every way we need to change

But it's hard because I love you, and my head says this is good

But inside of me is screaming, this isn't what it could be, should be
