  • Shoulda stayed lonely, shoulda stayed bored and broken
    I shoulda been alright, just for the night
    But this noise in my head on my cold empty bed
    Makes me need somethin' to pass the time
    Damn this old weakness, the first taste of sweetness
    The lump in my throat, ya give a girl enough rope

    Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
    Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
    Shoulda been drinkin' just to forget
    Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette

    Tried to put you out, tried to clear the air
    But Iâ??m breathin' your breath as I die a slow death
    What burns like a flash is ashes to ashes

    Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
    Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
    Shoulda been drinkin' just to forget
    Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette

    Shoulda closed my eyes to dream about you holdin' me

    Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
    Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
    Shoulda been drinkin' just to forget
    Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette

    Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette
