Shoulda Known Better

(album: Welcome To The Freakshow - 2012)

Woke up but you're back in my bed,
We broke up, how'd this happen again?
I always end up letting you in,
When I start drinking not thinking

I should've listened to all of my friends,
Same road and the same dead end,
I'm loving while she pretends,
So I keep drinking not thinking

First love is hard enough,
Even worse to give it up,
I can't forget her when she's gone,
But she can't leave when I'm holding on

So what can I say?
I made a mistake this time, you'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better
It's always the same,
I'll take the blame this time, I'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better
Girl, you're nothing but trouble and I should've known better.

Every time that I start to forget
I drive by the spot where we first met
You had nothing on underneath that dress,
We were just drinking not thinking

Just two kids, it was way too soon,
We didn't realize what we had to lose,
No way to know we wouldn't make it through,
Didn't know we'd end up sinking

First love is hard enough,
Even worse to give it up,
I can't forget her when she's gone,
But she can't leave when I'm holding on

So what can I say?
I made a mistake this time, you'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better
It's always the same,
I'll take the blame this time, I'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better

Keep leaving me with nothing
Someday I'll learn my lesson
Right now I'm losing this fight oh, oh
Lust ain't the same as trusting,
Can't figure out this love thing,
Guess it ain't happening tonight oh, oh

So what can I say?
I made a mistake this time, you'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better
It's always the same,
I'll take the blame this time, I'll never change
You're nothing but trouble and I should've known better
Girl, I should've known better
