Sat around till it was dark
And I wasted all day sittin in the park
He says, 'All I want.. all I want.. for me"
Who am I gonna be?
Memories are bad dreams to me
So paint me a picture so I can see
All I want.. All I want
But now I realize
That I should have known better (Aaahh)
And I should have expected more for myself (Aaahh)
And I should have known better
You can't hide from yourself
It just turns into something else
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Expect nothin from a loser like me
Put up these walls now I can't see
All I want.. All I want
Whatcha gonna do now?
Whatcha gonna do?
Afraid of failure right from the start
I never tried my best
It just keeps me apart
From all I want, all I want
That I should have known better (Aaahh)
And I should have expected more for myself (Aaahh)
And I should have known better
You can't hide from yourself
It just turns into something else...
So help me out, lead me away
All these memories, take em away
So help me out, and lead me away
All these memories, please just take em away
I guess I shoulda known, I guess I shoulda known better (shoulda known better)
I guess I shoulda known, I guess I shoulda known better (shoulda known better)
I guess I shoulda known, I guess I shoulda known better (shoulda known better)
I guess I shoulda known, I guess I shoulda known
