should've known better

it hurts to see you down

and i ain't seen you smile in awhile

and i know that you never could leave me

but i know that you ain't happy

and my heart's bleeding out

because of you

nothing is ever gonna change

how i feel

and i know that you don't love me

never will

and i know i shouldn't be sorry

but i am

you know i should've known better

not to want

i should've known better

not to love

'cause you'd have done better

than me

i should've known better

not to stay

walk in the room

tears in your eyes

sayin' darling

tired of these lies

and you crash at my feet

and the walls seem to shake

and i see the pain i've caused you

i should've known better

not to want

and my heart's bleeding out

'cause of you

and nothing is ever gonna change

how i feel

and i know that you don't love me

you never will

and i know i shouldn't be sorry

but i am

you know i should've known better

not to want

i should've known better

not to love

cause you'd have done better

than me

i should've known better

not to stay
