Same bed but it feels

Just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio

When our friends talk about you

All that it does is just tear me down
G
Cause my heart breaks a little

And all just sounds like
Am Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Too young, too dumb to realize
[Refrão]

That I should've bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should've give you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby is dancing

But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego

My needs and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you

To walk out my life

Now I never, never get to clean up

The mess I made

And it haunts me every time

I close my eyes

I hope he buys you flowers

How much you loved to dance

I should've done
