Lyrics

The best thing that you’ve nev­er had
The worst thing I missed out on
How can it be that’s how it seems
When all the while your mis­ery got in my dreams
So to your sor­row end­less­ly I’d bow my head
And cry

I should have said goodbye
Shouldn’t have stayed that long
I shouldn’t have come here in the first place
I should have done right when I did wrong

And while you’re knock­ing on my door
you fade away and I can’t see you anymore
You don’t know what your life is for
You don’t know what you want from me
But that you want so desperately
Is plain to see

I should have said goodbye
Shouldn’t have stayed that long
I shouldn’t have come here anyway
I should have done right when I did wrong

I should have said good­bye — good­bye — goodbye
And I know it’s strange
How it seems that I did­n’t even try
To say goodbye

I should have said goodbye
Shouldn’t have stayed that long
I shouldn’t have come here anyway
I should have done right when I did wrong

I should have said goodbye
Shouldn’t have stayed that long
I shouldn’t have come here in the first place
I should have done right when I did wrong
