I Should've Known Lyrics

Find myself in a local bar, sinking bottles strumming my guitar

Lost in the eyes of a girl I'll never know

You want what you can't and you have what you don't want

I love you never meant more at 2 o'clock

Bars close, night crawls, rinse and repeat again

I'm a victim of the words you said back then

Wish I'd done a thing or two different

It's too late now to change a damn thing

Cause the love she gave was warming, now I miss her in the mornin

And I'm drinking my way through to peace of mind

I should've known to leave her love behind

There's more to life than living, if you don't like what you're been given

Don't fall for that life of sinning, my darlin

Cause you'll dive head first in the red dirt mud

you'll fall for a boy who you'll take like a drug

And that loving will carve some scars on your beautiful skin

I'm a victim of the love you'll give to him

I wish I'd done a thing or two different

It's too late now to change a damn thing

Cause the love she gave was warming, now I miss her in the mornin

And I'm drinking my way through to peace of mind

I should've known to leave her love behind

Wherever you are, I know they'll see you smiling

Those crying brown eyes lie right behind it

It's funny how people and time seem to flip that script

I see you in every girl I meet

From Conroe, Texas to Tennessee

You're one of a kind so when you coming back for me

Yeah, You're one of a kind so when you coming back for me? Yeah

I wish I'd done a thing or two different

It's too late now to change a damn thing

Cause the love she gave was warming, now I miss her in the mornin

And I'm drinking my way through to peace of mind

I should've known to leave her ass behind

Hell, I'm way too gone

To see you way past moving on

I should've known to leave her love behind
