lyrics

Should Have Kissed You
Pretty smiles on your wedding day
I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way
You looked so sweet when you cut the cake
But my heart sank as you two rode away

I always knew you’d find a better man
A free-spirited, big, tall handsome Dan
‘Coz guys like me are less than the sum of their parts
With nothing more to offer than a desperate heart

A heart that’s shackled with regrets
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
‘Coz I could have changed it all that day in the gym
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If only I’d taken your face in my hands
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If I had only kissed you then

So many men have fallen at your feet
But I was the first, and I fell in defeat
But I would fall again, I would give my eyes
Just to fall again, I realize

My heart is shackled with regrets
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
‘Coz I could’ve changed this all that day in the gym
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If only I’d taken your face in my hands
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If I had only kissed you then
Do you remember those nights at the beach?
When we vowed we’d never leave
Now you’re sitting beneath palm trees
And I’m in the deep freeze

My heart is shackled with regrets
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
‘Coz I could have changed this all that day in the gym
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If only I’d taken your face in my hands
(Oh my baby, my sad sweet baby)
If I had only kissed you then
(Oh my baby…)
Like you wanted me to
Like you wanted me, too
How you wanted me then
Yeah, you still wanted me then
If I had only kissed you then
