Should Have Known Better

 I wrote you my last letter.
and baby, I should have known better.

            I should have known it wouldn’t make any difference at all.
            I should have known I couldn’t break through the wall.
            wrote you my last love letter.

I couldn’t explain
how you suddenly changed.

            I’ll never know how something hot can grow cold.
            I’ll never know how something young can grow old.
            couldn’t explain the change in the weather.
      
                        Chorus :          there are memories  down every road I go;
                                                time slowly covers them like the drifting snow.

I opened my heart;
and baby, I let the tears start.
      
            I let them go until my resistance was gone.
            I let them flow like a river that runs to the dawn.
            opened my heart, but I should have known better.

                        Chorus:           there are memories down every road I go.
                                                time slowly covers them like the drifting snow.

well,  I should have known better.        


            Should have known      should have known

Yeah, I should have known better.

Should have known      should have known
