I was standing in the doorway
In the middle of the night
Just waiting to hear that
Final long goodbye
Oh I shoulda been cryin
But I didn't feel a thing
Shoulda been runnin
Shoulda kept that ring, but I didn't
Think it'd end like this
Oh I shoulda held on to what we had
Should tried harder to be the right man, but I
I played the fool too well
Oh I shoulda been there to hold you tight
Would've been there if it weren't for my pride, and now
Now you're out of sight
And I'm losing my mind
I was drivin down the highway, doing 95
I was gonna try to find you in the passing neon lights
Oh I know where you've been, but I don't know now
Where you are, but I'll get there somehow and I
I couldn't lose you
Oh I shoulda held on to what we had
Should tried harder to be the right man, but I
I played the fool too well
Oh I shoulda been there to hold you tight
Would've been there if it weren't for my pride, and now
Now you're out of sight
And I'm losing my mind
I know I was in the wrong
But I thought our love was strong
Please don't make me move on
I'll do whatever it takes
To hold you again
Oh I shoulda held on to what we had
Should tried harder to be the right man, but I
I played the fool too well
Oh I shoulda been there to hold you tight
Would've been there if it weren't for my pride, and now
Now you're out of sight
And I'm losing my mind
