I
did what they said,
To try and forget him,
I messaged an old friend –
Started dating again.
“It doesn’t have to be love,”
Is what they said,
“Just get out there
And start dating again.”
But I should have known better.
You tell another lie,
Don’t remember your alibi.
You say you’re in a hospital bed,
But you’re out drinking, off your head.
You tell me everything is fine,
While you’re posting pictures online.
And I should have known better.
I should have known better.
So I kept quiet
About all your lies,
Never started a fight
Or asked to compromise.
My heart sank deep.
You were wearing a disguise,
But I didn’t want to hurt you –
Couldn’t look you in the eyes.
And I should have known better.
You tell another lie,
Don’t remember your alibi.
You say you’re in a hospital bed,
But you’re out drinking, off your head.
You tell me everything is fine,
While you’re posting pictures online.
And I should have known better.
I should have known better.
I push you away.
I should have known better.
It’s better this way.
And I should have known better.
I’ll do things my own way,
Because now I know better.
I’ll find love my own way,
As now I know better.
I should have known better.
I know I should have known better.
Because now I know better.
