I Should’ve Known

Verse

Thinkin’ ’bout you every minute (uh)

Every second, yeah I’m in it (yeah)

3 a.m., eyes wide open (no sleep)

Heart so loud, yeah it’s broken (damn)

We was talkin’ like forever (forever)

Like the pain wouldn’t get better (nah)

I was building us in my head (in my head)

You was pullin’ yourself together (yeah)

Ignored every sign you showed me (blind)

Thought your love could still hold me (hold me)

I was ready for the shine with you (shine)

Didn’t know you was slowly folding (gone)

Pre-chorus

I held you close (close) — you pulled away (away)

Felt it coming but begged you stay (please)

If love was real, why it feel fake? (fake)

Why goodbye all you had to say? (say…)

Chorus

I should’ve knooown (yeah…)

I should’ve knooown (woah)

Loved you hard but I loved alone (alone)

Late nights staring at my phone (yeah)

I should’ve knooown (uh…)

I should’ve knooown (pain)

We were close but you still felt gone (so gone)

You said goodbye, now I’m on my own (own…)

Verse

We were inches from the future (so close)

Saw your hand locked in mine (mine)

Every smile felt permanent (yeah)

Now it haunt me every time (every time)

Waited on a text all night (all night)

Silence hit harder than fights (no words)

I was holding on too tight (too tight)

Even though you left a mess (damn)

Love scars deep in my chest (uh)

Heartbreak lessons I ain’t request (nah)

Chorus

I should’ve knooown (yeah… yeah)

I should’ve knooown (woah)

Some hearts change when they overgrow (overgrown)

I gave you time, I gave you hope (I tried)

I should’ve knooown (pain)

Can’t save love on my own (on my own)

We were fire, now it’s smoke (smoke…)

Miss your eyes… (yeah)

That smile too… (woah)

Every second I spent with you (spent)

I should’ve known… (pause)

But I loved you anyway (anyway…)
