Should've been open, should've done more
Should've learned a lesson from the year before
Should've been honest, should've just cried
Should've told me there was nothing left inside

Now the road keeps rollin' on forever
And the years keep pullin' us apart
We lost something, I still wonder what it was
It shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter but it does

You should've just broken, you should've come clean
You should've been sad instead of bein' so fuckin' mean
It shouldn't be easy, but it shouldn't be hard
You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard

Now the road keeps rollin' on forever
And the years keep pullin' us apart
I know it's over, I'm just sayin' this because
It shouldn't matter
It shouldn't matter but it does

I shouldn't be angry, I shouldn't hold on
I shouldn't leave you messages in every little song
It could've been always, it could've been me
We could've been busy namin' baby number three

Now the road keeps rollin' on forever
And the years keep pullin' us apart
If it's on someone, then I blame the both of us
It shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter but it
Shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter but it
Shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter but it does

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
