I Should've Left You At The Altar Lyrics

I just hoped that someday

Someone would love me

I always wanted someone to have

And someone that I could hold

I used to think it was like the movies

And the romance that I was sold

I couldn't wait to get older to

Find a love that's pure and true

And then the day came, we finally met

And I thought I'd found it in you

But life had a bigger lesson to teach me

A lesson that I'd have to live through

I should've left you at the altar

Listened to my father

Saw the red flags and walked away

I should've trusted all my instincts

Listened to what my friends think

Now I question why would I have stayed

I should've left you on our wedding day

I should've left you on our wedding day

I should've left you at the alter

I should've listened to my father

And I think back on that day

So naive

Learning about what love should

Really not be

The blatant disrespect

That you showed me

In front of our entire family

Your shitty vows

Said in the open

A sign how we were broken

The way you laughed it off

Like it's nothing

And how you told me I'm dramatic

My heart started to panic

I should've just given back your ring

I should've left you at the altar

Listened to my father

Saw the red flags and walked away

I should've trusted all my instincts

Listened to what my friends think

Now I question why would I have stayed

I should've left you on our wedding day

I should've left you on our wedding day

I should've left you at the alter

I should've listened to my father

And now this divorce has got messy

And I'm always filled with shame

I swear you dim my fucking light

And still, convince me I'm to blame

You hold so many things against me

God this really isn't love

I hope one day I can learn again

Who I can and cannot trust

Because the lies you brought into

Our wedding day

Will stick forever

But I finally believe now

That I can do so much goddamn better than you

That I deserve better than you

I should've left you at the altar

Listened to my father

Saw the red flags and walked away

I should've trusted all my instincts

Listened to what my friends think

Now I question why did I stay

I should've left you on our wedding day
