"Shoulda Known Better" lyrics

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
