[Verse 1]
He, should've kissed her on the elevator ride to that rooftop bar
But his mind takes over his instincts
He’s convincing but not persistent
And it keeps him apart

He, should’ve told her he loved her from the very start
But others have showed him resistance
They tore his heart in an instant
He has more than one scar

[Chorus]
And maybe he should
Live like someone else
Act like he's not himself
Build courage and pretend that he's
Not afraid that
Anything he does, and anything he says
Puts him to the test
Can keep him from at least
Talking to her

[Verse 2]
He, should’ve listened to Billy, he told it quite straight
But he couldn’t just tell her about it
Even though he wanted to shout it
He was too damn afraid
