She Shouldn’t Have Lyrics by Payton Smith

2025

[Verse 1]
Them slept-in Sunday mornings
Empty pew from a night out late with Jack
She gave me lip, but she gave me grace
Yeah, she shouldn't have
Yeah, all of them half-ass sorrys
Every word she let me take right on back
We cleared the air, she cleaned the slate
Yeah, she shouldn't have
[Pre-Chorus]
And these dadgum boots on my feet
Look like they're turning on me
'Cause I'm kicking myself
For putting that girl through hell
[Chorus]
She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends
While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"
She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine
Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin
She shouldn't have to wonder why
She wasted all of twenty-five
On a stupid guy that gave her that
That broken heart she shouldn't have
[Verse 2]
That neon night she walked in
Shot me a look, so I had to ask
To buy her a beer and she said yes
And she shouldn't have
How was she supposed to know
That boy with a Michelob microphone
Would turn into somebody she don't wanna know
That ain't the way it was supposed to go, no
[Chorus]
She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends
While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"
She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine
Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin
She shouldn't have to wonder why
She wasted all of twenty-five
On a stupid guy that gave her that
That broken heart she shouldn't have
[Bridge]
(Oh)
She shouldn't have to live with the past
I only wish that I could just take it all back
(Yeah)
Everything that I put you through
I'd give anything if I could make it up to you
[Chorus]
She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends
While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"
She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine
Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin
She shouldn't have to wonder why
She wasted all of twenty-five
On a stupid guy that gave her that
That broken heart she shouldn't have
[Outro]
Yeah, mm, she shouldn't have, mm
She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends
No, no
