I hear about all these things you say that you're gonna do someday
I have to hear you say it again and again, same 'ole shit but different day
You're gonna do all these incredible things, just you sit and see just wait
But when I look at how much work you've done, it's getting close to being too late
Don't tell me you shoulda
Don't tell me you coulda
Don't tell me you woulda
'Cause I know that you didn't
Don't tell me you wanted to
Do all these things that you didn't do
'Cause unless you didn't follow through
The truth is, you didn't
You've been telling everyone for years that someday your day will come
If by 'day' you're talking 'bout 'never', then I guess I'm the foolish one
Do you want to be someone who says 'I could of been great. Only if'
So man up, work until your day comes, and put your money where your mouth is
Don't tell me you shoulda
Don't tell me you coulda
Don't tell me you woulda
'Cause I know that you didn't
Don't tell me you wanted to
Do all these things that you didn't do
'Cause unless you didn't follow through
The truth is, you didn't
Not that I want to be really mean, but I look in the mirror and you're still lying
About these promises you didn't keep, not giving you a happy sticker just because you're trying
You want your life to mean something, than you better find a way and get it done
Or you'll have to face reality, that the life you really wanted hasn't begun
Don't tell me you shoulda
Don't tell me you coulda
Don't tell me you woulda
'Cause I know that you didn't
Don't tell me you wanted to
Do all these things that you didn't do
'Cause unless you didn't follow through
The truth is, you didn't
And I know that you're afraid
But man, you gotta get tough, just be brave
And I know that you'll figure out a way
Before it's too late
