I should have listened more and listened well I should have been your shelter in the rain I should have touched you more and held you closer 'Til I felt it melt your quiet pain Should I have had more time to spare for you should have been there for you, to care for you with more love, more love I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers pa**ing through my nights I could have cuddled near your gentle flame been warmer there than in these glaring lights Should have had more time to spare for you should have been there for you, to care for you with more love, more love, more love What would it have taken if only could have taken my eyes off me for a while I'd have seen the hurtin' hidin' just behind the curtain of your smile oh, I swear I didn't know, which goes to show How long it takes a man to be a man but if I say enough and try enough and pray enough and cry enough I can still can have more time to spare for you always be there for you, to care for you with more love, more love, more love needed just more love.
