Dont change a thing.

Why dont you lock the door behind you.
I know I'm not going to remind you.

You never stuck around.
I never made you stay.

I guess it's like a kite.
Watching you fly away.

Just pack your bags and run.
Till your job is finally done.

Till you've left my heart and the door open.
I can't keep walking around moping.

I give and give,
Till theres nothing left.

You take and take.
Now were in debt.

Shoulda, Woulda
Don't change a thing.

We never stopped to talk.
We never stopped the clock.

Need for speed?
Did you ever really need me?

I shoulda, coulda
Made you stay.

You got in the car.
And drove away.

So as I sit next to,
Your grave.

I wonder if,
Shoulda, Coulda,Woulda
Could of made you stay.

I know i wont remind you again.
To close the door,
Or say goodbye. 

I should of told you I loved you,
Before you left.

I could of let you sleep in,
and stay with me,

I would of never slammed the door,
For just one more night in your arms,

I guess it's like a kite.
Watching you fly away.

But shoulda,Coulda, woulda,
Dont change a thing.

Now were in debt. -- we're

I noticed you capitalize every line, it looks better if you don't. There is also a few capitalization errors in each line, with 'Woulda', 'Coulda', and 'Shoulda', they don't really need to have a capital letter to start them.

Ex:

I would of never slammed the door,
for just one more night in your arms,

There is also some odd punctuation in the piece, that doesn't fit with how you have written your lines. As with above, it has a comma, but the next stanza doesn't really fit for it to be written that way.

I wonder if, -- I wonder if I,
Shoulda, Coulda,Woulda -- should'a- could'a- would'a-
Could of made you stay. -- could have made you stay.

Might flow better that way, play around with punctuation and see what works for you.

Other than that, you did a great job with describing things in your poem. Keep on writing :)
