Shoulda Known Better

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She came to me like a dream

Like nothing that I’d ever seen

Lying awake here in the dark

Trying to find out what to do with my heart

Still coming down from the high

I'm asking myself why I had to tell a lie

Still coming down from the high

I'm asking myself why I had to tell a lie

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

I shoulda known better, I should go

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

How was I supposed to let you go?

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better but I got no regrets

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better, known better

We both got considerations

Other city situations

Faraway conversations

That might’ve led us to these deviations

No, I won’t regret a minute of it

No, I won’t regret a second of it

No, I won’t regret a minute of your lovin’

No, your lovin’ got me open

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

I shoulda known better, I should go

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

How was I supposed to let you go?

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better but I got no regrets

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better, known better

But I stayed

And I stayed so I could lay in your glow

But I stayed

Oh, I stayed

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

I shoulda known better, I should go

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

How was I supposed to let you go?

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better but I got no regrets

I shoulda known better but I didn’t I guess

I shoulda known better, known better

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

I shoulda known better, I should go

I shoulda known better not to stay the night

I shoulda known better, known better
