about

like it shoulda is an acceptance anthem - it's permission to accept your past and your present, and trusting that it's just as it should be.

lyrics

i'll never say that i hate you
can't say i totally blame you
got no motivation to publicly shame you
what kind of good would that do?

ask me, no, i don’t regret it
i said i’m done and i meant it
guess i’m just not interested
in pushing mountains i know will never move

you can tell it how you want
you can say it’s all my fault
you can say that it was all a mistake

(but i believe) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i’d do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came

so many versions of the truth
so many words that i had left to say to you
but there were just too many things i couldn't do
except bite the bullet, hold my tongue, move right on through

i hope that you ain’t hurtin’ anymore
i hope you found that thing you always said you were lookin’ for
i hope you found yourself on the right side of the score
'cause with every passing moment i feel it more and more in my bones

(that) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i’d do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came
yes you did now

i checked my conscience the other day
just to make sure we were all ok
but them voices in my head had nothin’ to say
so I gave ‘em a smile, i turned around, and went on my merry way

('cause) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i'd do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came
