Should’ve Known Better
[Verse 1]
I am my mother's daughter
I watched her with my father
I saw it all, the good and bad
Should've known better than that
You found me at the right time
I loved you from that first night
Bet everything on what we had
Should've known better than that

[Chorus]
I gave you my heart, you let it go to waste
You made me do the leavin' and you made me take the blame
Does it make you feel good to make me feel bad?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known bеtter
Than to break what you couldn't fix
Boy, what a shame what you'rе gonna miss
Why'd you go and do what you can't take back?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known better than that

[Verse 2]
You sold me on the fantasy
Damn it, it all felt real to me
Thought you were the man in the photograph
Should've known better than that
Oh, I should've known better than that
[Chorus]
I gave you my heart, you let it go to waste
You made me do the leavin' and you made me take the blame
Does it make you feel good to make me feel bad?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known better
Than to break what you couldn't fix
Boy, what a shame what you're gonna miss
Why'd you go and do what you can't take back?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known better than that

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Still some nights, I'm cryin' on the floor
But I'm not sleepin' in the bed you made, no more

[Chorus]
I gave you my heart, you let it go to waste
You made me do the leavin' and you made me take the blame
Does it make you feel good to make me feel bad?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known better
Than to break what you couldn't fix
Boy, what a shame what you're gonna miss
Why'd you go and do what you can't take back?
Yeah, you should've known better, should've known better than that
[Outro]
Oh, oh, you should've known better than that
