Process: 1) I came up with the title, hook, and lyric. 2) I used a back and forth process with Chat GPT to hone the lyric to where I wanted it to be. Writing and rewriting. 3) I had GPT create a chord chart based upon the genre, style, tempo, feel, and vibe I was searching for. 4) I used Suno to produce versions until I found one I liked. 5.) I used PowerDirector to create a lyric video. 6.) I used Chat GPT to create a highly discoverable video description, hashtags, and seo tags based upon the parameters I requested. 7) I uploaded it to my channel.

SOMETHING I SHOULD’VE SAID
© 2025 by Wes Tibbets

[VERSE 1]
I still remember that dress, your hair a mess
Laughin’ through the door of that old café
You smiled at me, I froze like a fool
Even then you made the move, I didn't know how to make

[VERSE 2]
All those nights, truck rides, talkin’ ‘til dawn
I had a thousand chances, but the moment was gone
I held your hand, but I never held on
To the one thing I should’ve leaned on

[CHORUS]
It wasn’t the silence, it wasn’t the fights
It was every “I love you” I kept locked up inside
Now I’m standing alone, where you used to stand
With a heart full of words I don’t understand
Too late now, but it’s still in my head
Something I should’ve said

[VERSE 3]
You gave your all, I gave you half
I played it safe while you loved me fast
You wanted real, I played pretend
Thinking I’d get time to say it again

[CHORUS]
It wasn’t the silence, it wasn’t the fights
It was every “I love you” I kept locked up inside
Now I’m standing alone, where you used to stand
With a heart full of words I don’t understand
Too late now, but it’s still in my head
Something I should’ve said

[BRIDGE]
Now you’re just a ghost in a photograph frame
And I’m stuck here whisperin’ your name
Wishin’ you knew what I never explained

[FINAL CHORUS]
It wasn’t the silence, it wasn’t the fights
It was every “I love you” I kept locked up inside
Now I’m standing alone, where you used to stand
With a heart full of words I don’t understand
Too late now, but it’s still in my head
Something I should’ve said

[TAG]
Something I should’ve said
Something I never said
