I should have known better

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 dream and baby, and that's the reason why

Each time I see you and the feelings go stronger,
But this time I'm leaving cause I love you no longer
Feels like I'm drowning as you're dragging me under,
and I can't hold on

I should've 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've 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 go stronger,
But this time I'm leaving cause I love you no longer
Feels like I'm drowning as you're dragging me under,
and I can't hold on

I should've 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've known better, than to spend my life waiting for you,
And now my heart's broken forever, and your promises never came true
