so many years i just suffered through the tears

knowing one day i'd wake up wishing i had never met her

but as the time goes by my hope keeping playing every day

as i laugh to myself, 'i just should have known better'



there's no more laughter as i think about the other girl

it's a slap in my face as i'm opening her letter

she's doing fine now with two kids and another man

as i cry out loud, 'i just should have known better'



she was the reason i was living every day

i would ride upon a white horse in my quest to try and find her

but now it's too late, i don't care if i die tonight

cos a voice keeps ringing in my heart, 'i should have known better'



i learned my lesson this time

lonliness and a broken heart

should've known right from the start
