Shouldn't Have - A Song About Unrequited Love




Song inspired by my college crush and a former co-worker whom I thought I fell in love with. Both of them were false alarms. 
But I had to admit they made me disappointed then not because of the unrequited love. They made me disappointed because my experiences with them made me less a woman. In short, they made me feel ugly. So this song inspired me to write this sometime 2005. But for some reasons, I couldn't finish this song properly so I decided not to continue it. 
During the process, I learned to accept easily not to fall for guys who can’t seem to love me back. But some time 2008, I was inspired to redeem this song because of some experience that I could consider harassment. Good thing I have a quite good memory when it comes to lyrics and melodies that was why I was able to finish this song. It may not be radio-friendly though. But at least I’m proud of this. 
Trivia: The video would actually show how terrible traffic in EDSA is. Here, I’m also showing you a part of me as a Basilica Taal and Virgin of Caysasay devotee.
