would've, could've, should've


{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

if you would've blinked, then I would've
looked away at the first glance

{LAURA EASTON}

if you tasted poison, you could've
spit me out at the first chance

{WENDY HAMILTON}

if I was some paint did it splatter
on a promising grown man

{ASTRID SVENSSON}

and if I was a child did it matter
if you got to wash your hands

{LUCIE DAVID}

all I used to do was pray
would've, could've, should've
if you never looked my way

{WENDY HAMILTON}

I would've stayed on my knees
and I damn sure never would have danced with the devil
at nineteen

{LAURA EASTON}

and the god's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
and now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
memories feel like weapons

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

and now that I know
I wish you'd left me wondering

{LUCIE DAVID}

if you never touched me, I would've
gone along with the righteous

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

if I never blushed then they could've
never whispered about this
and if you never saved me from boredom
I could have gone on as I was
but lord you made me feel important
and then you tried to erase us

{LAURA EASTON}

you're a crisis of my faith
would've, could've, should've
if I'd only played it safe

{WENDY HAMILTON}

I would've stayed on my knees
and I damn sure never would have danced with the devil
at nineteen

{LUCIE DAVID}

and the god's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
and now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
memories feel like weapons

{ELIZABETH RICHARDSON}

and now that I know
I wish you'd left me wondering

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

god, rest my soul
I miss who I used to be

{ASTRID SVENSSON}

the tomb won't close
stained glass windows in my mind

{WENDY HAMILTON}

I regret you all the time

{LAURA EASTON}

I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep

{LUCIE DAVID}

the wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

I regret you all the time

{ALL}

if clarity's in death, then why won't this die
years of tearing down our banners, you and I
living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

and I damn sure never would have danced with the devil
at nineteen

{ELIZABETH RICHARDSON}

and the god's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
and now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
memories feel like weapons

{LUCIE DAVID}

and now that I know
I wish you'd left me wondering

{WENDY HAMILTON}

god, rest my soul
I miss who I used to be

{ASTRID SVENSSON}

the tomb won't close
stained glass windows in my mind

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

I regret you all the time

{LAURA EASTON}

I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep

{ELIZABETH RICHARDSON}

the wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign

{LUCIE DAVID}

I regret you all the time

{ASTRID SVENSSON}

oh god, rest my soul
I miss who I used to be

{LUCIE DAVID}

the tomb won't close
stained glass windows in my mind

{WENDY HAMILTON}

I regret you all the time

{EMILIA BLACKWOOD}

I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep

{LAURA EASTON}

the wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign

{ALL}

I regret you all the time
