Themes of death, grief, and existential questioning
The lyrics deal with grief, loss, and regret following the death of someone close. The song explores themes of unspoken feelings ('three words I should've told you'), mourning, and existential questioning about why God allows death. There is a brief religious reference questioning God's will ('God lets a pretty girl go on and die'), which some may find sensitive. The content is emotionally heavy and deals with death and grief in a mature way. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. However, the themes of death, profound grief, and existential questioning are emotionally complex and may be difficult for younger children to process. Parental guidance is suggested for younger audiences.

Couldn't hold back the tears, couldn't take the news Why'd I hold back those three words I should've told you? It hollows me out knowing I couldn't ever speak to you Now, I'm trapped in a moment that I can't escape Replaying chances I let slip away But He took you quicker than I could even say I could've If I could go back, then I would've There's a hole in my heart, 'cause I should've If only I knew Coulda, woulda, shoulda said them to you 'Bout a million tears deep, and I still don't know why God lets a pretty girl go on and die Even though you're gone, I can feel you by my side Walking down the coastline, looking at the waves Just like God, the tide gives, and it takes But He took you quicker than I could even say I could've If I could go back, then I would've There's a hole in my heart, 'cause I should've If only I knew Coulda, woulda, shoulda said them to you Oh, I could've I wish I would've Oh, I should've I could've If I could go back, then I would've There's a hole in my heart, 'cause I should've If only I knew Coulda, woulda, shoulda said them to you (ah-ah) Na-na-na-na-na (ah-ah, ah) Coulda, woulda, shoulda said them to you
