Lyrics and translation
Original
"Should've gone differently"
Is what I often say
Looking at myself above the bathroom sink
For every closing door
There's one opening
Everything comes down to that thin subtlety
They say, "Persistence gets attractive
The more you show"
Amazing how much effort goes
Into letting go
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
There should have been more applause
For all the risk I take
A master knows how far to push once they commit
I know what I got and it's good
A fresh approach I think
But damn, it'd be so good if someone else agreed
They say, "A failure's only real
If no one learns"
But such a costly education
Inflames and burns
La, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
