Differently
Differently
I should have.....
laughed more,
talked less,
let the silence be more soothing
let the worries find a grave
I should have risked something
I should have been more open
letting my honesty be my power
after all it was my life I was shaping
it was my cross to bear
a legacy of my making
I should have not been in a arms race
dying for acceptance
I should have let you buy that
besides it wouldn't have hurt a thing
oh if I could do it differently.....
I should have prayed more
should have danced in the snow
should have taken a seat
and just enjoyed the show
I should have loved more freely
oh if I could do it differently......
And there was a voice inside my head
oh one day you will be sorry
but I should have listened
so for everything
the consequences
and I should have.....
Talked less....
Spent more....
Can't take money with you
only your soul
oh the worries....what good does it do?
Oh if I could do it just differently....
