lyrics

Stargazing in a lighting storm
Bathing suit in the snow, trying to keep warm
I should know better
Than to give you any piece of my heart

Should've been prepared
Should've been prepared
Should've been
To keep you at bay
Should've built a concrete fortress
To hide myself away

What did all the others do?
Why did I make an exception for you?
Why did I turn to putty?
In the palm of a traitor's hand

Should've been prepared
Should've been prepared
Should've been
To keep you at bay
Should've built a concrete fortress
To hide myself away

What did I build up all these walls for...
Just to let you walk right though my door?

I....
Should've been prepared
Should've been prepared
Should've been
To keep you at bay
Should've built a concrete fortress
To hide myself away

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh,
Will I learn to trust again?
Break out of this cage that I'm livin' in?
Ahhh. ahhh. ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh

Should've been...
Should've been prepared

Depreciated
by John R Miller

supported by 5 fans who also own “Should've Been Prepared”

Another solid effort start to finish. Very much a life lesson storytelling lyricist. To me still is very similar to James McMurtry which is not a bad thing. Looks like another album is dropping soon. That’s good news. Yimmy Kil
