should've been there ft. Elsie Zel Lyrics

I feel bad for the way it all went down

Didn't mean to leave you on the ground

But I didn't wanna jeopardize myself

Didn't really think you'd need my help

I know you didn't mean to, but you made me cry

When I read your texts on that Saturday night

Just know I really care

But I felt really scared

Yeah, I should've been there for you to lean on

But I didn't wanna ever see you gone

It was always about you and your problems

But just know I've got them too

I never knew if you were listening

Tears in our eyes always glistening

I acted tough, you didn't question it

I always told you to forget it

Back when we were friends I kept myself on lock

I hated the way you always looked at the clock

And talked about yourself and what you're going through

Did it ever occur that I'm going through it too?

It's hard to find a sister cuz this world's so cruel

But you always talked of leaving, didn't want it to be true

Hence a fight between us did ensue

Even though we used to be stuck like glue

What we thought would be forever

Turned out to be severed

So quickly cuz we both thought that maybe we'd be better

Not together, forever, not together, forever

It's tragic that a friendship that used to be like magic

Could fall apart so quickly with the swerving left to back it

Whenever I see girls out wearing your jacket

I think of you, but there's no time to unpack it

Yeah, I should've been there for you to lean on

But I didn't wanna ever see you gone

It was always about you and your problems

But just know I've got them too

I never knew if you were listening

Tears in our eyes always glistening

I acted tough, you didn't question it

I always told you to forget it
