Things I Should Have Said

I know that there is nothing I can do
To make you know me any better than you do
There’s all that time and those things that we’ve been through
I think it all may have been different if I just had said to you
And made it true
You can take a chance but before you do
You should know that I’m lazy and I’m tired
But in a crisis I’m stronger than the fire
And when I’m lonely it’s best not to inquire
I’ve never had that much ambition, I can be a little dire
And I’ll slash a tire
But you can take a chance if you desire
And I guess I’m feeling like
I should’vе said these things back then
That maybе you were thinking
That I was better than I am
And though I know you’ve been loving me
You may have been misled
So these are all the things I should’ve said
I’m possessive and I’m jealous and I’m snide
I get threatened and tied up all inside
I won’t run away but sometimes I will hide
Away into some place that I only I can find
And I’ve never cried
But you can take a chance if you decide
I’ve been beat up and wrestled to the ground
And I will be the toughest fight that you have found
But I will love you too, and I’ll turn you all around
Turn up the heat and I won’t turn it down
Or make a sound
And you can take a chance pound for pound
And I guess I’m feeling like
I should’ve said these things back then
That maybe you were thinking
That I was better than I am
And though I know you’ve been loving me
You may have been misled
So these are all the things I should’ve said
I can share things but I can take what’s mine
And I get defensive when I can’t compromise
And I may not seem it but I can cross the line
And make you feel like I am leaving you behind
But I hope you’ll find
That you can take a chance on me sometime
Yeah, you can take a chance on me sometime
Can’t you take a chance on me this time?
