should have known better lyrics

I should have thought a little harder
But I don't know why
I should have moved a little faster
But I was denied

Could have stayed a little longer
Could have tried, oh no no
But you were the dreamer, baby
And that's the reason why

Each time I see you and the feelings grow stronger
This time I'm leaving 'cause I love you no longer
Feels like I'm drowning and you're dragging me under
And I can't hold on

I should have known better
Than to spend my life waiting for you
You know it's hard following after
When you treat me the way that you do
I should have known better
Than to spend my life waiting for you
And now my heart's broken forever
And your promises never came true

I didn't need to forget you
But you weren't around, oh no no
I didn't feel I could trust you
Or keep your feet on the ground

Each time I see you and the feelings grow stronger
This time I'm leaving 'cause I love you no longer
Feels like I'm drowning and you're dragging me under
And I can't hold on

I should have known better
Than to spend my life waiting for you
You know it's hard following after
When you treat me the way that you do
I should have known better
Than to spend my life waiting for you
And now my heart's broken forever
And your promises never came true

Each time I see you and the feelings grow stronger (Go stronger)
This time I'm leaving 'cause I love you no longer (I love you no longer)
Feels like I'm drowning and you're dragging me under
And I can't hold on

I should have known better (Should have known better)
Than to spend my life waiting for you (Waiting for you)
You know it's hard following after
When you treat me the way that you do
I should have known better (Should have known better)
Than to spend my life waiting for you (Waiting for you)
And now my heart's broken forever
And your promises never came true
