Shoulda Known Better

(album: Dreamland - 2022)

She came to me like a dream
Like nothing that I'd ever seen
Lying awake here in the dark
Trying to find out what to do with my heart
Still coming down from the high
I'm asking myself why I had to tell a lie
Still coming down from the high
I'm asking myself why I had to tell a lie

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, known better

We both got considerations
Other city situations
Faraway conversations
That might've led us to these deviations
No, I won't regret a minute of it
No, I won't regret a second of it
No, I won't regret a minute of your loving
No, your loving got me open

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, known better

But I stayed
And I stayed so I could lay in your glow
But I stayed
Oh I stayed

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better but I didn't I guess

I shoulda known better, known better
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, known better

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better, known better

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better, known better
