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'
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/ministry/should+have+known+better_20093986.html ]
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
