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
