Should Have Known Better Lyrics by The Beaches
Rolled up tangled like your bedsheets
See the sunlight burn your blue eyes
While you slip into my jeans
Big words, tears cause it hurts to leave me
And you said it, like you meant it
Guess I’ll never know what it means
You gave me promises and I believed you
I was down to love you, babe
But, honey, I should’ve known better
Said you need time and space
But I won’t be around forever
Do what you want
Do what you want
I can move on
I can move on
I was down to love you, babe
But you’re showing me I can do better
Four kids, a dog, and a vegas wedding
It’s a picture, of a heaven
That we’ll never get to see
Won’t stay but you’re too afraid to keep me
She’s a textbook clear avoidant
Never knowin’ what she needs
You gave me promises and I believed you
I was down to love you babe
But, honey, I should’ve known better
Said ya need time and space
But I won’t be around forever
Do what you want
Do what you want
I can move on
I can move on
I was down to love you, babe
But you’re showing me I can do better
But you’re showing me I can do better
A thousand doors that you won’t walk through
Broke my heart for someone to talk to
Let me in to leave me here
Standing in the outside
A thousand girls for you to flip through
*** someone you won’t commit to
Orange wine
And wasted time
When you coulda been the love of my life
I was down to love you, babe
But, honey, I should’ve known better
Said you need time and space
But I won’t be around forever
Do what you want
Do what you want
I can move on
I can move on
I was down to love you babe
But you’re showing me I can do better
But you’re showing me I can do better
But you’re showing me I can do better
