Should I've said that?
Or no, I've should of said this?
God, I'm such a mess.
I can't even accept what I said is said,
and move on with it.
I really, really, should've said that,
no no no no, I should've said that.
Damn I'm a mess.
Can't help it I guess.
It's how I roll,
making it up as I go.
But honestly, I really shouldn't have said that.
