i shouldn't have read that
i should've been cold
i should've acted my age: old
i should've never told myself: enough

i should've been a man
i should've stayed a minute longer
i should've told you you were stronger
i should've lied, or at least tried

i should've never failed to grow
i should've made myself the one
taller, thinner, dumber, dumb
i should've, but i didn't, now it's done.
