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
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
