"Should Have Known Better" lyrics

When you're bleeding that's when the sharks come
And you don't know when they'll pull you under water
And when they take their first bite they never let go

My momma told me don't trust nobody
Some kiss your bruises just so they can taste your pain
Some stitch your wounds just to rip 'em up again

But you chose the wrong enemy
And now it's time to take a sip of your own medicine
'Cause karma is a bad bitch

Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well, you didn't know better

Like vultures you were gathering
Pick on every piece of rotten flesh
But you haven't seen the last of me just yet

Now that I'm the best of me
I bet you wanna taste it
Instead you get your own medicine
'Cause karma is a bad bitch

Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well, you didn't know better

Don't put your hand in the fire for someone
'Cause when you turn your back they'll pull the gun
You thought I'd never get up
Never say never
You should have known better

Dear two faced friend
Now you're looking like regret
But when you said you had my back
You held a knife inside your hand

Now let me know, Now let me know
Why are the ones behind the trigger those you'd take a bullet for?
Sometimes the ones who smile the prettiest are rotten to the core
You burnt me too many times, no I had enough
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?

Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well, you didn't know better

Don't put your hand in the fire for someone
'Cause when you turn your back they'll pull the gun
You thought I'd never get up
Never say never
You should have known better

Haha, well, you should
Known better, known better, known better, known better
Known better by now
