I Should've Known
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.
You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had - sad...
I should've known it wouldn't last
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, don't you know that you're blind?
I should've known it wouldn't last, no
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, you don't know that you're blind - don't you know?
No - yeah...
You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had - sad...
