Things I Should've Said - Fleur East

Didn’t like your mama anyway

She was always in the way

Never liked the jokes that you made

But I laughed all the same

And when you forgot my birthday

I made excuses

Boy, you’re so useless

Always had your way

I left you to it

And I

I gave you your confidence

And dressed you with compliments

I swallowed my pride

And I choked on your promises

You took all my love

I gave you my fucks

Now it just sucks

That I didn’t tell you this (Oh)

When I wanted to

Now all I’ve got are the things I should’ve said

Can’t believe I made you feel a ten

When your heart was a two

I gave you all of me

For only half of you

And when you forgot my birthday

I made excuses

Boy, you’re so useless

Always had your way

I left you to it

And I

I gave you your confidence

And dressed you with compliments

I swallowed my pride

And I choked on your promises

You took all my love

I gave you my fucks

Now it just sucks

That I didn’t tell you this (Oh)

When I wanted to

Now all I’ve got are the things I should’ve said

Should’ve let you go

My heart was saying no

I take back my love

You’ve had enough

It cuts me to the bone

Wish you would’ve known

‘Cause I, I, I

I gave you your confidence

And dressed you with compliments

I swallowed my pride

And I choked on your promises
