Poetry: I Should've Known

in #poetry7 years ago

If I had been there to wipe your tears....
Then no one else would be around

If I had been there to cradle your fears....
We'd still be together right now

Wish I could be there to share your dreams
I wish that I could still be there, baby

But you are gone and
I'm here alone...

I sure do regret it now
Yes I do
I really do

I'm missing you
Missing you

Baby I...
Should've known....

I should've cared
Just a little bit more

I shouldn't have listened
To the words from the inside

I shouldn't have let...
My...
Sweetie go

Baby I...
I want you to know...

If I could take you back you bet I would

I'd....give...anything...
To get things back
Now that I know...

All the things I should've known

Should've been there with my baby...
Every night

Should’ve been there
Kissing you and
Holding you so...tight

How I wish that I could be with you...
Right now

I'd give anything just to see your smile

But I'm all alone...
And all the should'ves in the world...
They won't bring you back...
And I'm the one to blame

I didn't know how to act or
Save the love...
And I sure do regret it lately

Baby I...
Should've known

I should've cared just a little bit more

I shouldn't have let my...sweetie go

If I could take it back you that I would
I'd...give...anything to get things back

Now that I know...

All the things I should've known

I promise I won't ignore you...
You’ll...
Never ever, ever be alone

Just lean on me and my shoulder...

I promise you,
I won't let you fall
(I wont let you go)

I'm missing...
You, right now

I'd give anything...
To get things back

Now that I know...

All the things I should've known
