Lyrics
Hey look the rain has turned to snow
I see you zip your coat as you turn to go
And I just wait here standing still
With so much to say but I don’t have the will, I don’t have the will
Shouldn’t I’ve told you
Shouldn’t I start
Shouldn’t I make amends and tear these lies apart
I’m not a hero
Never been smart
Shouldn’t I’ve told you or would it break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
Before the facts come out and kick my ass in line
With ever word I try to say
I choke on self-control and lies get in the way, lies get in the way
Shouldn’t I’ve told you
Shouldn’t I start
Shouldn’t I make amends and tear these lies apart
I’m not a hero
Never been smart
Shouldn’t I’ve told you or would it break your heart
Turn it up, turn me in
I will face my accuser
Let the sentence be passed down, down
Like every drunk must have his drink
I take another glass to give me time to think
I’m acting in a Scottish play
Like bloodstains on my hands the truth won’t wash away, the truth won’t wash away
Shouldn’t I’ve told you
Shouldn’t I start
Shouldn’t I make amends and tear these lies apart
I’m not a hero
Never been smart
Shouldn’t I’ve told you or would it break your heart
