Graduation Lyrics by Áine Deane

​​nothing left to say

2023

[Verse 1]
We caught eyes at graduation
And I almost got ran over on the pavement
When I saw you kiss a girl
And so I spent the night crying in the bathroom
Told myself I wouldn't do this
But she's so pretty and I knew her
And you knew that I knew her
So, clearly, you don't miss me
And, obviously, I don't need to ask you
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm better when you're out of sight
'Cause then you're out of mind
[Chorus]
I wish that I could hate you, but it's hard
'Cause we both know you never meant to break my heart
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
But we were through before we even started
'Cause you were indecisive, I was guarded
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
[Verse 2]
I thought I'd hold it together
A little better
All the girls said that I wouldn't see you
There's so many people here right now
But I could pick you out from any crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
So, I'm better when you're out of sight
'Cause then you're out of mind
[Chorus]
I wish that I could hate you, but it's hard
'Cause we both know you never meant to break my heart
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
But we were through before we even started
'Cause you were indecisive, I was guarded
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
[Bridge]
So, I guess we'll say it's miscommunication
Tried to cancel reservations
But we gave them your last name on the phone
So, all I'll get's an awkward conversation
After all the celebrations
We'll say our congratulations and go home
[Chorus]
I wish that I could hate you, but I can't
We both know you never meant to break my heart
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
But we were through before we even started
'Cause you were indecisive, I was guarded
But I always thought
It should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
Oh, it should've been us, could've been us, would've been us
