Should've Been Loving You Lyrics

Jonathan Pierce 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 affection

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

I should've been loving You
I 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

No greater love has any man ever known
So that I could live my life
You laid down Your own
