Answer 1

A expressão should have é utilizada no idioma inglês para expressar algo no passado que não aconteceu e que deveria ter acontecido. Dessa forma, é utilizada para representar arrependimento.

Durante todo o texto, o cantor se lamenta por não ter percebido algumas coisas, como por exemplo, que era amor. Fica clara a ideia de mostrar arrependimento a mulher que ele era apaixonado. Desse modo, ele utilizada a expressão "should have" como deveria ter feito isso antes.

Portanto, a alternativa correta é: D.
