音乐咖啡厅:Tamar Kaprelian - Should Have Known Better

I was ship-wrecked for a year
But somehow made it here
Alive
I was once the Queen of Hearts
But I played out all my cards
All for the simple glory¹ of
Trusting in you, never
'Cause I know better
How could I've been so blind?
Yeah, I ran every light
Never saw the change inside
I should have known² better
(Should have known better)
It's the writing on the wall
Never thought I would fall
(Think I'm gonna lose my mind)
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
I should have known better
You prepared a drunken feast³
I was banished⁴ from your reach
Out of your way
But I crawled⁵ down from the cross
Where you last dropped me off
And I called on your party just the same
Forgive you, never
'Cause I know better
How could I've been so blind?
Yeah, I ran every light
Never saw the change inside
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
It's the writing on the wall
Never thought I would fall
(Think I'm gonna lose my mind)
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
I'm back on my feet
I'm finally free
And I won't be around
When your little kingdom comes crashing down, down
It's the writing on the wall
Never thought I would fall
(Think I'm gonna lose my mind)
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
How could I've been so blind?
Yeah, I ran every light
(Never saw the change inside)
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
It's the writing on the wall
Never thought I would fall
(Think I'm gonna lose my mind)
I should have known better
(Should have known better)
I should have known better
I should have known better
(I should have known better)
(Should have known better)
