Skillet - Should've When You Could've Lyrics

should of you could of

Here I am in 2019.. Soon to be 2020, and I still find myself loving this song.

I should’ve told my friend Annette this a long time ago when she broke my heart.


But I don’t need her, I got God living in my heart.

My ex hated this band and used to make fun of me for listening to them. When we broke up and she started asking (eventually demanding) me to take her back, I sent her this song and she hasn't bothered me since

Ja już wm co wyślę 😁

I dedicate this wonderful song to my ex! Good luck in your relationship that u have now!

A SPECIAL LETTER FROM JESUS CHRIST FOR THE HARD TO REACH

My most precious child,

If you are receiving this letter, it is because someone loves you very much. He/She may not have been able to talk to you about this in the past, or perhaps they have talked to you about Me, but you were not ready to listen.

The most important thing I want to tell you is that I LOVE YOU. I love you more than anyone in this world could ever love you. I want you to read this now and learn of Me because you are running out of time to learn the truth.

Life as you know it now will suddenly and radically change in an instant and I want you to be ready.

MY NAME IS JESUS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH.

I have come to you to give you eternal life. I have come in the flesh and given you the most ultimate sacrifice anyone could give in that I died for you, shedding My blood to atone for your sins; not only those sins you have committed in the past, but for every sin you will ever commit.

The price for your sins has been paid. I was the sacrificial lamb, slain for you. Your debt is paid.

I did this so that you could have access to the Kingdom of Heaven with Me and Our Father forever. You were beautifully and wonderfully made, intricately designed, and purposed for so much more than this life.

You have known all along that there was more, that your heart yearned for something greater, something that would fill the emptiness, fill that space inside and 'complete' you.

It is My greatest desire that you know that what you have been looking for is Me! I am the One who has created you for a special purpose and whose love for you will never die!

My gift is a free gift, no conditions, all you need to do is accept this most precious gift from Me and you will then have all My promises.

You must know that you could never do anything on your own to earn My love, or earn your way into Heaven. Your acceptance of Me and My sacrifice is all that is required. My blood covers all, and ensures you will live with Me always.

I have given you a book- The Holy Bible - that tells you all about who I am. It is your instruction manual in this life, and it tells you not only what has happened in the past, but it also tells you what is about to happen to this earth.

I love all of My creation so much that I always let you know what I am about to do. This is why you are receiving this letter. I am about to make Myself known in a very powerful way. Because so many have chosen not to accept Me for who I am and follow My commandments for your lives, I will shake the very foundations of all you know to be your security. This is how I will get the attention of My creation.

I do not want you to be in fear, and I do not want you to miss the most important reason that you were born to be here. This reason is to have an intimate relationship with Me. To not choose Me is to choose a life in darkness eternally.

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I offer you this gift and this decision because of the free will I have given you. I would never force you to love Me, but you must know that to ignore My desires for your love means eternity without light, love, peace and joy. It is a life wasted and cast away.

Don't waste another moment believing the lies of My enemy, the devil. Don't believe that life will go on continually the way it always has been.

Time as you know it is over and I am coming to make all things new. The signs of the times in which you live are all around you. Life as you know it has become unsustainable. Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken, and you will be forced to make a choice for your very survival.

You will choose to trust Me, the One who created you, or you will trust in a system that will fail. My Word speaks truth and all else that is not of Me will collapse.

Please, come to Me now. Come as you are. I love you no matter what you have done.

My blood washes away all your sins and makes you white as snow. I will keep you and protect you, I will provide for you and when it is your time, I will take you home with Me.

I will only have so many warnings, and then the sudden-lies will be upon you. Will you be ready? The choice has always been yours.

If you accept this free gift and desire to know Me intimately, and want to spend eternity with Me in complete peace and love, please say this prayer (out loud.)

Prayer:

Father, please forgive me for all of my sins. I accept your gift. I believe that you sent your Son Jesus to die for me, and that He is your only Son. I believe that His blood has paid the price for all the sins I have ever committed, and all those I will commit. I trust in you as My Creator and all of your promises. I surrender my life to you and ask that only your will be done. I invite your Holy Spirit to come into my heart and change me, and make me more like you. I want to be obedient, and I need your help. Please come into my heart this moment Jesus and make me a new creation in you.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN

Your loving Father,

Jesus Christ, the Messiah (Yahushua ha Mashiach)

Iwish I had this song in my life two years ago when I loved a girl so much, staying because she loved me too but wasn't ready and was scared. And luckily I've moved on, we stopped talking because I'd given up and had enough. And things ended badly,she recently messaged me again to apologize. Told me she still loves me and wants to be with me. She was a bit jealous or upset I'd moved on and tried to guilt trip me. Saying things about my girlfriend. This song is what I relate to with that. Luckily today she realized that if I'm happy she should be too. That I'm not hers anymore to get mad at, not that we were ever together properly. But yeah, I needed this two years ago.

I do miss my ex wife I pray to god that he will give her a Second chance.i know thay our a Christian rock song I love it god bless skillet

Wait how is this about god?

Waiting for the day my ex realizes who she lost. This will be my answer.

people who dislike this are idiots

Song is so true about my current situation. I'm done have bags packed and loaded, leaving today

I hate you Nick Cox

I shouldn't have to do anything.

Reminds me of someone I use to know. I know I wasn't perfect, but she always made me feel like everything was my fault.

I think of my sister and her lying bullshit wheni hesr this

To all the girls who have rejected me or treated me like crap.

Amazing

I’ve loved skillet since I was 6

I was 13 when i listen this song now im 18 and i still love it
And its make me emotional like the old days

Remind me of Proxima from The Mysticons after she knew that she was'nt really Arkeyna's twin sister but that Zarya actually was Arkeyna's sister and then became evil just because of that.. 😭😭

FUCK you Brianna you brought nothing but hate to me and your grandma doesn't scare me

2018 desde argentina

Extra pesma. Svaka cast.

I started to play this song the day my crush started to be a jerk to me because I liked her. I started to cry. I’m still broken because of that...

I love someone who can never be mine.. This song is made for me.
U gonna miss my love girl..😍

Saw Skillet in concert last night. They were amazing! I wish they had played this song but they didn't but the show was still great!

This song is perfect for me after my break up

This song help me to feel better after my break up

This is my friendzone song. 😢

10 months of my life was over last night...and i cant stop thinking on what might have been

A good response for this song would be "it's not me it's you"

I remember that i saw that channel long time ago when i was a kid, and now i found it again.

You're gonna miss my love boy XD

How is this a Chrstian rock badn song lol?

Pedro Santana it could mean that the girl referenced in the song could be a sinner and the singer is God. "You're gonna miss my love" means this sinner is going to hell

No, it's not from God's perspective. It's just a break up song. The members of Skillet are all Christians and that plays into most of their songs, but not all of them are "Christian themed".

I wish I can just disregard this pain. clicked the replay button several times!
(Will go back and check this commenet after 1 yr)

It's time

there are more bitches out there ,as long as its not a nigga lol

for some reason this reminds me of "the light" by disturbed even though this came before it

and also reminds me of "who taught you how to hate" also by disturbed... maybe because the songs are almost the same speeds as eachother...

This song reminds me of the complete failure that I call my life

This reminds me of my ex girlfriend. I was her only good boyfriend and she broke up with me.

I really need to get it over this guy

to Lucys original mom I'm sorry not fuck you bitch please I don't need you hope you see this HARLEY fuck you - your ex puddin Joker​ I kissed​ ivy to

When you think of the the lyrics of the song can't think of the name but heard the song millions of times haha

My speakers can't go any louder. Why can't they go any louder?

joker and Harley Quinn

jamiia butler yes wait what

skillet is the best band ever

This song has been stuck in my head all day

SHOULD'VE WHEN YA COULD'VE

I wish we could have more music like this but sadly we cannot

Best song from Awake album

you should've when you could've....

Harley quinn I love you

Almost 100.000 subs and your channel is dead AragornPk10. Come back

This helps me deal with this girl I love but she she hates me now

Very out of place on this album, I think it would have worked a lot better if they put it on Rise, even if it's a different sound from most of that album. Despite that, and people not thinking it's a good song, I love it.

+narrowpath yes it is a fact, exept for the tswift part but the song was wrote as a joke&i'd guess its supose2mock artists that write about every breakup they've been in

john cooper literally put this in awake bcuz he thought it was funny! its basically skillet making fun of tailor swift Lol!

@Kapoios, na mh se noiazei Very good point, my friend.

Its a fact, i said "basically" simply meaning ppl who write about evry single breakup

Im not an idiot!! Dont cuss at me!!! And its fact that john cooper wrote this song as a joke!!! so shut up and exept the fact that u dont know everything!!!!

Ik what year it came out in dummy, i hav the cd... and the band came out in 1996 so u havent been listening to them from the beginning. What the heck does the release date hav2do w/the fact that the songs a joke anyways?..

This song has never been so relevant

a tribute to my x

I love skillet since I started to love Jeff hardy

What about Jeff hardy

John Cooper is so cute from Skillet this us the band ever in the world

I love this song because I saw My boyfriend with a another girl

Same but it was my girlfriend with another guy

@Andrew Todd then who was it

cool song don't run from a good thing

I love this song

skillet is my only hope in live

my ex girlfriend broke my heart but thanks to skillet i have more power to say her suck it

still love this . have since 14 , I'm 21

jdubvjdfgha bruhh!!! sameeeeeeee haha

Skillet is so amazing <3

Oh yeah they are my most favorite band

Awww yea! havent heard this song for over 5 yrs lol… :P

First heard this on Pandora.

Every time I hear this song, I get the impression of a guy who got played for a fool and dumped, and is now desperately trying to spin doctor it so that he doesn't look like a complete beta male. Sour grapes at its finest.

The only good break-up song on the face of the planet.

actually it's not you it's me is a really good break-up song

+Emelyn Smuszkiewicz *it's not me it's you

+Heather Donahue oops totally messed that up

@Emelyn Smuszkiewicz It's okay

I can now play all songs from skillet thank you skillet for my hobby and money :)

the comment section on Skillet videos is always a festering bog of people venting their life's problems. this surprises me considering what a hopeful band this is.

people have the right to comment whatever they want..

I think this song will become truth for me in a very short time. She (my gf) seems she doesn't care.. We have a distance relationship, when we are together it's heaven, when we are distant is hell. She seems she doesn't love me, why she stay with me? I am not beautiful or rich. Why?!

Awake is my feel good album when I am feeling down

One of the few songs I hope I never have to play to make "her" see the light.

Why is "her" in quotation marks?

@Jesus_the_frog42 I've learned that it refers to a certain someone you love, who doesn't love you. Maybe the quotation marks are optional, but I felt it was better to add them just in case.

A player at my school broke all the boy's hearts but mine and I broke hers

elijah Lastrinta nice

elijah Lastrinta ( slow claps )

Good (I think?)

Zero Malice hahaha

my girl played me. her friends like me even her brother likes me. but she doesn't care. so She can Chase me now if she wants it

My last girfriend was only with me to get close to my best friend

Still listening in 2015!

Sadly... finally have a good reason to listen to this song. :-/

@Theycallmecrazy Gaming i heard of green day nickel back and skillet. those other ones i never hear of. Those are some good bands i can tell though.

I suggest you ;listen to Evanescence and Breaking Benjamin.

i dated a girl for 2 years and she always saw and spoke to her exes without telling me, and lied about so much. I tried to help her overcome her lies but she never came around. She broke up with me for not trusting her. I guess its for the best :D

Did the right thing man

Same buddy. I still love this girl eventhough I've got the best girl I could ever wish for. We were just so close but I constantly thought she was cheating on me. She kept on walking away from me and ignoring me so I had to end it sadly. Since that I've not been the same. I've been depressed and everything until my friend took me to church and my life changed forever. I just fell in tears

I dated one form upper Elementary to high school to my junior year that year I met this girl Layla that's not the girl referring to by the her name was Brianna she used to cheat on me every chance she got I gave her so many chances but I finally realized she wasn't any good that I'm at Layla my junior year of high school it was summer June 2018 we started hitting off she told me about her ex-boyfriend I told her I wouldn't do what her ex did she asked me to date her I said sure haven't broken up with her yet

Who cares if she speaks to her exes.. Why can't they be friends?
Sure that means that she could be fucking them, but everyone gets paranoid when they hear "ex", n jus jump to assuming conclusions that they're always fucking them.

She wasn't worth it man. Good for you

one song I hate is lucy I just hate it!!!!!!!

So good it deserves to be played twice. It gives me a triumphant feeling of relief, remembering how once upon a time, 5 years ago, I was the guy in this song- and then I woke up. Thank the Lord!

The message of the song was cool ^_^

so i fell in love with my best friend and she got dumped by her boyfriend and i was there for her through everything. her eating disorder,her cutting,her burning and i told her i liked her and she now wont even give me a hug saying " i dont hug boys" then 2 hours later her other friend has his arm around her. this song is for you  Jules. just like the song says, " you could'v been my only one but now your chance is gone". so so so true :) 

well this makes me think of my ex. she turned on my butt all of a sudden. i broke up with her for the right reasons. she was nice then became mean and lying

"Your gonna miss my love girl"

@Sky Beyer Uhm... okay

I'm done wondering where you've been all night long when you're out with your friends..

This reminds me of my crush. I had tried talking to him but all I did was make a fool out of myself. I had kept trying to reach out to him but all he did was push me away. First he wants to talk to me but the he doesn't. I'm done chasing you it's time you started chasing me.

Why did he keep pushing you away though?
This sounds like an underlying issue that you weren't looking at.
Did he suffer from depression?
If so, then he didn't do it on purpose.
He's jus not happy with himself, n could use a girl like you.

You can't jus always look at the face value of it n ignore the underlining issues.
Cause there's reasons for things.
He might have not jus been playing "chase".
He might have really wanted you, but felt too dead inside n felt like he didn't deserve you.
This is why you can't jus look at face value.. Cause it's not always about "You".
N who knows.. That could've been the best relationship that you would have ever been in.
Did you put in an effort to see what was wrong with him?
Did you ask him what's wrong?
Did you tell him that you liked him like that?
Or did you jus ignore him n his problems when he wasn't giving you what you wanted?

This song makes me emotional because there is someone I like I haven't told him but I really like him I'm thinking of asking him out after Christmas break wish me luck I hope I don't embarass myself

tia wetzel go for it!!😎

tia wetzel man, 3 years later and I'm having the same problem: I'm going before the Christmas day to a concert with my gf and there I wanna tell her that I love her. But I think it is already too late....

tia wetzel 3 years later I gotta ask, How’d it go? I actually confessed to my friend a few weeks ago. I was ignored and she’s with someone else, but what matters is that I actually did it.

Might as well be chasing after thunder...

Emily Jones nice sense of humor..
