You should have said no when they asked you to lie
\nOr screamed to their faces it’s their fault, don’t be shy<\/p>\n
You should have bought your father slippers on the time it’s needed
\nMaybe he’d be happier would have bragged and smiled<\/p>\n
Remember when the old man expected you to give
\nYou overlooked what he needed you were so insensitive<\/p>\n
Should have been more careful when you were pregnant with your child
\nMaybe she would have been here the family isn’t sad<\/p>\n
You should have been this and you should have been that
\nMore regrets coming in hurting pain makes you flat<\/p>\n
Dear old self may you learn from all those “have beens”
\nAnd this time, oh this time make sure your life wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
