[Verse 1:]
I thought I knew it all, I was so greedy and dumb
How could I just f**ing split not see that you were the one
You should have stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity
I was a damn fool, I thought my posse would last
I didn't want what you offered and now I need it so bad
You should of stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity
I was a big shot, the one with all the power
It all went sour because I was a f**ing coward
You should of stayed here and never left me
We could have kept what we had and shared an eternity
[Hook:]
What could have been
The rejected wish, an eternity missed
It's so far away
[Verse 2:]
I tried to stop you, life's about more than just money
And when we went broke, no joke them days were not sunny
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
You were a gangsta, you belonged to the night
You would vanish from sight, I never knew when you might
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
And now I'm takin three kids five, seven, and two
But I still have that necklace and I still think of you
I should have stayed there, how wrong could I be
We should have kept what we had and shared an eternity
[Hook]
