Should’ve Fought Harder Lyrics by THEory DROPOUTS

Safe Drively

2019

[Verse 1]
This was the end of our line
I could feel you drifting
And I told you it was fine
I didn't want to make you listen
To anything I could've said
It felt like static in my head
Because it hit me that you aren't mine
You said we weren't beneficial
I couldn't fight with you to save
My life, now it's official;
I gave you back your things today
And I shouldn't be surprised
We've been breaking since July
But part of me wishes you'd stay
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know that it's hopeless, and there's just no way
To go back; but what I wouldn't change
[Chorus]
I should've held your hand when you said you were scared
I should've calmed your fears, I should've been there
And when you told me we were done for
I should've said that wasn't fair
And I should've just apologized, in spite of my pride
Because I can't stand the thought of another by your side
It's been weeks, it's been months
And it's too late for me to come through
And I know it's too late
But I should've fought harder for you
[Verse 2]
I keep your pictures in my phone
And your letters in my room
But all the things we called our own
We'll get rid of them soon
And it hurts to feel the loss
But you can't leave my thoughts
Even if I say that I'm over you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's not much I could do, and I won't get a second try
But I wish I'd done everything right
[Chorus]
I should've held your hand when you said you were scared
I should've calmed your fears, I should've been there
And when you told me we were done for
I should've said that wasn't fair
And I should've just apologized, in spite of my pride
Because I can't stand the thought of another by your side
It's been weeks, it's been months
And it's too late for me to come through
And I know it's too late
But I should've -
[Bridge]
We should've been a symphony, but we cut off too soon
All that's left of your memory to me is the moon
Beautiful, shining bright from fake, borrowed light
Changed and gone faster than I can tell
And you still don't know half of the hell
I went through over you
But I'd still do it ten times over for you, oh
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And you're gone, and moved on, and you've left me behind
But my mistakes still play on in my mind
[Final Chorus]
I should've held your hand when you said you were scared
I should've calmed your fears, I should've been there
And when you told me we were done for
I should've said that wasn't fair
And I shouldn't have pretended I'd be better off alone
You never should've left, I should've never let you go
It's been weeks, it's been months
And it's too late for me to come through
And I know it's too late
But I should've fought harder for you
Yeah, I know it's too late
But I should've fought harder for you
