Lyrics

Another sleepless night, I can't explain

Somebody said they heard me call your name

The radio won't let you leave my mind

I know it's over but I don't know why

Should've known better

Than to fall in love with you

Now love is just a faded memory

Should've known better

Now I'm a prisoner to this pain

And my heart still aches for you

There was no risk that I wouldn't take

And not a promise that I didn't make

All I asked was that you just hold on

And now I'm wondering what I did wrong

Should've known better

Than to fall in love with you

Now love is just a faded memory

Should've known better

Now I'm a prisoner to this pain

And my heart still aches for you

I gave you all of my body and soul

Never believing we might lose control

I took my hands off the wheel

I can't remember if the lies were true

It's been a million years since I touched you

I thought time might help me win this game

But being away from you is slowly driving me insane

Should've known better

Than to fall in love with you

Now love is just a faded memory

Should've known better

Now I'm a prisoner to this pain

And my heart still aches for you

Should've known better

Than to fall in love with you

Now love is just a faded memory

Should've known better

Now I'm a prisoner to this pain

And my heart still aches for you
