Should Have Known Better

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 'Cause a voice keeps ringing in my heart, "I should have known better" I learned my lesson this time Loneliness and a broken heart Should've known right from the start
