Should’ve Known Better Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm out of your control
There's nowhere left to hide
Packed my bags at midnight
And leave this mess behind
Me, myself and I
Have read between the lines
Left the engine runnin'
I guess this is goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
Should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
I should've known better than that
I'm out of your control
There's nowhere left to hide
Packed my bags at midnight
And leave this mess behind
Me, myself and I
Have read between the lines
Left the engine runnin'
I guess this is goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
Should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
I should've known better than that
[Verse 2]
Looking back, I know
You had me hypnotized
Since I've got my senses
I see right through your lies
Now you're on your own
You call me every night
You're looking through our photos, but I deleted mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
Should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
Looking back, I know
You had me hypnotized
Since I've got my senses
I see right through your lies
Now you're on your own
You call me every night
You're looking through our photos, but I deleted mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
Should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
Should've known better than that
Ah, better
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
[Bridge]
Mhm, mhm, mhm
Finally I've opened up my eyes
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Now I'm gonna leave your ass behind
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
I should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
Mhm, mhm, mhm
Finally I've opened up my eyes
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Now I'm gonna leave your ass behind
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're never gonna change my mind
We've been here about a thousand times
Should've never let you back inside
Inside my mind
[Chorus]
I should've known better than to let you break my heart
I should've known better, I believed you from the start
I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time
I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life
[Post-Chorus]
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
(Should've known, should've known, ah)
(Should've known, should've known, better)
(Should've known, should've known)
I should've known better than that
