I SHOULD KNOW BETTER

LYRICS

I Should Know Better

IntroI should know better...
But knowing never stopped me before.

Verse 1I know which floorboard wakes you,
which side of the bed stays cold.
I know every little story
you tell when you don't tell the whole.
I know that look means leaving,
I know that silence means goodbye.
Funny how a woman sees it coming
and still acts surprised.

Pre-ChorusI've learned every lesson
you ever put me through.
But there's one thing all that learning
never taught my heart to do.

ChorusI should know better
than to still want you tonight.
I should know better
than to leave that little light.
I know how this story ends,
I know where you've been.
I should know better...
but I'd let you break my heart again.

Verse 2Your number's gone from favorites,
but I never learned it less.
I can pour myself one whiskey
and still reach for your glass.
Everybody says I'm stronger,
and maybe most days that's the truth.
But strength gets kind of lonely
when the room still smells like you.

Pre-ChorusI've learned how not to call you,
learned how not to cry.
But nobody ever taught me
how to make a memory lie.

ChorusI should know better
than to still want you tonight.
I should know better
than to leave that little light.
I know how this story ends,
I know where you've been.
I should know better...
but I'd let you break my heart again.

BridgeMaybe love ain't wisdom.
Maybe that's the price.
Maybe knowing someone's wrong for you
don't make wanting them feel right.
And if you knocked here tomorrow,
I'd swear I'd let you go...
But you and I both know.

Final ChorusI should know better
than to still want you tonight.
I should know better
than to tell myself I'm fine.
I know every road you take,
every promise you can break.
I should know better...
God, I should know better...
but I'd let you break my heart again.

OutroI should know better.
I do.
