[Verse 1] I found your blue coat button In my coat last night Little sign of your leaving Still shining in the light I held it in my palm Like it might say your name Been acting all so steady But I’m still not the same [Pre-Chorus] And I keep rehearsing What I should have said Now the room gets smaller When you’re in my head [Chorus] I should have told you I was falling hard I should have told you You were in my heart Now I’m here With this old regret I should have told you Before you left [Verse 2] Your laugh still lives in the hallway By the cracked front door Where you kicked off your shoes And swore you’d stay for more I was scared of the feeling Scared it would get loud So I kept my truth folded Like a shirt in a drawer [Pre-Chorus] And I keep rehearsing What I should have said Now the room gets smaller When you’re in my head [Chorus] I should have told you I was falling hard I should have told you You were in my heart Now I’m here With this old regret I should have told you Before you left [Bridge] If you ever hear this Know it wasn’t small I was trying to be tougher Than I was at all But the truth sits easy In the light of day I loved you in the quiet And I let you walk away [Chorus] I should have told you I was falling hard I should have told you You were in my heart Now I’m here With this old regret I should have told you Before you left [Outro] Blue coat button In my hand Little piece of us I still can’t withstand I should have told you I should have told you
