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
 I learned my lesson this time
 Loneliness and a broken heart
 Should've known right from the start
 I learned my lesson this time
