Should've Left It Alone

Should’ve Left It Alone

I should’ve left it alone,
I shouldn’t have gone there.
How can it still hurt this bad?
After all these years, how is that fair?

I should’ve left it alone,
I shouldn’t have done that.
But how could I know, that
Seeing your picture would knock me flat?

I should’ve left it alone,
I shouldn’t have dug up that poem.
I shouldn’t dream about your eyes,
But that color blue still feels like home.

Of course you’ve moved on,
How could you not?
It’s been five fucking years,
I don’t know what I thought!

I’m glad you’re happy,
I never wished you any ill.
I’m just fucking pissed,
That my heart pines for you still.

I should’ve left it alone,
I need to let you go.
When will that happen?
Hell if I know.

I still think about you,
I still mention your name.
It’s beyond fucked up, I know,
But I miss you all the same.

I can still smell your skin,
I can still feel your touch.
I’ve been with other girls,
But nobody excites me that much.

I should’ve left it alone,
Then I could have gone on pretending.
That my heart didn’t hurt anymore,
That it was finally mending.

I should’ve left it alone,
I should have considered it done.
But I guess I never really was that smart,
Now I’m back at square one.

I should’ve left it alone…
