[Verse 1]
I call, you don't answer
I run, you run faster
That lie, that angry ghost is routine, tried, and true
That bastard visits me nightly
He's there to remind me

[Chorus]
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
Should've known better, should've known better than that

[Verse 2]
My harshest of opinions
Complaints, accusations
Yeah I made lots of money selling water as wine
You were there right behind me
Saying that's all I could be

[Chorus]
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
Should've known better, Should've known better
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
I Should've known better, you should've known
[Bridge]
I did not want to leave
No it wasn't up to me
I did not want to leave
No it happened naturally

[Chorus]
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
I Should've known better, I should've known better than
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
I Should've known better, I should've known better than that

[Outro]
Should've known better than that ( I should've known better than that)
Should've known better than that ( I should've known better than that)
Should've known better than that ( I should've known better, I should've known better than, that)
