Shoulda Known Better

2 a.m., I couldn't think straight Head down on my pillowcase Why do nights feel so slow? I miss your calls, I miss your hellos Tried so hard to keep a straight face I thought my head was a safe place I just wanted to feel wanted But I was getting what I wanted One way to go You got high hopes And I know that love comes, love goes away But all I needed was for you to stay Way too close The words I should've said but never wrote And now I'm feeling like I'm missing home I really shoulda let you know Got too close That's the part that always hurts the most I wish I wasn't feeling all alone I shoulda let you know I said forever but I shoulda known better Time was never on our side I see you when I close my eyes Since we never got to say goodbye At least not in this lifetime One way to go You got high hopes And I know that love comes, love goes away Way too close The words I should've said but never wrote And now I'm feeling like I'm missing home I really shoulda let you know Got too close That's the part that always hurts the most I wish I wasn't feeling all alone I shoulda let you know I said forever but I shoulda known better I said forever but I shoulda known better Shoulda known I said forever I said forever I said forever Got too close That's the part that always hurts the most I wish I wasn't feeling all alone I shoulda let you know I said forever but I shoulda known better
