Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are things that i've said that i never should've said. there are things that i've done that i never should've done. there are feelings i have had that i never should have had. i wish i wouldn't have said those things. i wish i wouldn't have done those things. i wish i wouldn't have felt that way. there are things i should've said, but i didn't know what to say. there are things i should've done, but i didn't know what to do. there are feelings i should've had, but i didn't know how to feel. i wish i would've said those things. i wish i would've done those things. i wish i would've felt that way.
