Letra de Things I Should Have Said

Well son there's things I'd like to say before I'm done
As time is running short I thought I'd write them down
And you'll probably get this note after the coffin bells are rung
And my body is safely sheltered in the ground
And I know I haven’t seen you now for years since it all kicked off
But it doesn’t mean that I don’t love you very much
And son I won't pretend to you it's not my fault
But bear in mind it's me that lives with the guilt
These are things I should have said
Things I should have said so long ago
These are things I should have said so long ago
Your mother was so pretty that it made me hurt
And for many years our happiness was real
And you won't remember now but she loved you with all her heart
At least until her heart was broken by my drink and pills
And the more you have the less you know quite what you’ve got
And you don’t know what you’ve got until it's gone
And I didn’t mean to leave without saying good-bye
But I couldn’t face that walk of shame again
These are things I should have said
Things I should have said so long ago
These are things I should have said so long ago
And when your mother died I don’t know why I didn’t take you in
I guess I'm just a coward underneath
I just let others do whilst I drown myself in drink
I didn’t want to think or even breathe
And misery will always be its own best friend
And no one likes a drunkard when he's sober
And just remember I will always be your dad
And I hope we'll meet again when the parties over
These are things I should have said
Things I should have said so long ago
These are things I should have said so long ago
