Should've Known Better

(album: Hide Your Ghost - 2018)

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
Saying 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
