Lyrics
YEARS AGO
You should have done it years ago
Everything pointed that way
Walk out move on make a life for yourself
Don't ruin it by agreeing to stay
By agreeing to stay
A new life starts an old one dies
Don't linger too long say you goodbyes
Don't doubt yourself now after being so strong
To be indecisive would be so terribly wrong
So so wrong
We told you and showed you
Which way to go
But you loved too much
And always said no
You should have done it years ago
Certain things may change your mind
Alter the way that you feel
But you know we know it's not right for you
This was never to be part of the deal
To be part of the deal
Stop counting all the good times
Saying now that it's OK
While trying to forget all the pain
It's your bed but you don't have to stay
No you don't have to stay
We told you and showed you
Which way to go
But you loved too much and always said no
You should have done it years ago
You should have done it years ago
You should have done it years ago
