Should've Been Loving You

I spent most of my life looking for acceptance
I never found what i was looking for
I was searching for love
I just needed some acceptance
All i got just left me wanting more,
Left me feeling cold and lonely on the inside
With nothing to show, but i had plenty to hide.
I should’ve been loving you
I should’ve been praising you
Should’ve been giving you something in return
For the love you’ve shown me
I should’ve been loving you
Should’ve been praising you
Your love for me was always true
I should’ve been loving you
The lonely life doesn’t have its advantages
It just leaves you hurting all the time
I can safely say, i have found a better way
It’s acceptance of a greater kind
I remember when your love came shining in my lonely life
Looking back on all the love i’ve thrown away i realize
