I should know better
Lyrics
Verse 1
Midnight makeup on a Monday night
Told myself I wouldn’t let you inside
But your hands know every weak spot on me
Like you memorized all my boundaries
Your hoodie hanging off my bedroom chair
Your smoke, your cologne still in the air
Every warning sign was neon red
Still, I let you back into my bed
Pre-Chorus
I know you’re trouble
Yeah, everybody sees it
But when you touch me
I forget I even mean it
Chorus
I should know better
Than falling for your “come here” eyes
Should know better
Than believing all your alibis
You leave me crying in glitter eyeliner
Then pull me back under like a liar
You’re a bad decision dressed in black leather
And I should know better
Yeah, I should know better
Verse 2
You say “forever” with your fingers crossed
Leave me wrecked while you act unbothered
I keep dancing with a dangerous flame
Then act surprised when I get burned again
My girls are tired of hearing your name
I swear I’m done, then I cave
One text from you and there I go
Halfway dressed at your front door
Pre-Chorus
You taste like chaos
Like trouble with blue lights flashing
And I hate how good it feels
Knowing this could end in ashes
Chorus
I should know better
Than falling for your “come here” eyes
Should know better
Than believing all your alibis
You leave me crying in glitter eyeliner
Then pull me back under like a liar
You’re a bad decision dressed in black leather
And I should know better
Yeah, I should know better
Bridge
Maybe I like the danger
Maybe I like the scars
Maybe broken girls keep mistaking pain for sparks
You say my name real soft
Like you’re trying to save my soul
But you only love me most
When I’m losing control
Final Chorus
I should know better
But I still show up every time
Should know better
But your lips still blur my mind
You’re poison poured into pretty promises
And I keep drinking every drop of it
You’re everything I’ll probably regret forever
And I should know better…
Yeah, I should know better…
(better… better… better…)
yeah, I should know better
