She Shouldn't Have

Them slept-in Sunday mornings

Empty pew from a night out late with Jack

She gave me lip, but she gave me grace

Yeah, she shouldn't have

Yeah, all of them half-ass sorrys

Every word she let me take right on back

We cleared the air, she cleaned the slate

Yeah, she shouldn't have

And these dadgum boots on my feet

Look like they're turning on me

'Cause I'm kicking myself

For putting that girl through hell

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

That neon night she walked in

Shot me a look, so I had to ask

To buy her a beer and she said yes

And she shouldn't have

How was she supposed to know

That boy with a Michelob microphone

Would turn into somebody she don't wanna know

That ain't the way it was supposed to go, no

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

(Oh)

She shouldn't have to live with the past

I only wish that I could just take it all back

(Yeah)

Everything that I put you through

I'd give anything if I could make it up to you

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

Yeah, mm, she shouldn't have, mm

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

No, no
