Shouldn't Have Been Such a Douchebag
You shouldn't have been so emotional
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been
I shouldn't have been so vulnerable
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so fucking genuine
You shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
But you were and I was and we were
You shouldn't have been so unbelievable
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been
I shouldn't have been so readable
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so inconceivable
We shouldn't have been, we shouldn't have been
But you were, and I was, and we were
And it makes the pain more real because we were
This I know for sure
History repeats itself
This story repeats itself
Once or twice, and it might happen again in the future
Lessons learned and no doubt mistakes made,
Yet when it's time to reflect
No regrets, I guess
Shouldn't have been
Shouldn't have been
Should not ever have been
Shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so ignorant, collective heads in the sand
Guns in our hands, takin' our stands
Unwilling or unable to understand our fellow man
Yet trying as hard as we can to defend a false premise
True freedom comes only through unity
And only where life comes before liberty
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been
I shouldn't have been so vulnerable
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so fucking genuine
You shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
But you were and I was and we were
You shouldn't have been so unbelievable
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been
I shouldn't have been so readable
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so inconceivable
We shouldn't have been, we shouldn't have been
But you were, and I was, and we were
And it makes the pain more real because we were
This I know for sure
History repeats itself
This story repeats itself
Once or twice, and it might happen again in the future
Lessons learned and no doubt mistakes made,
Yet when it's time to reflect
No regrets, I guess
Shouldn't have been
Shouldn't have been
Should not ever have been
Shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so ignorant, collective heads in the sand
Guns in our hands, takin' our stands
Unwilling or unable to understand our fellow man
Yet trying as hard as we can to defend a false premise
True freedom comes only through unity
And only where life comes before liberty
