Lyrics

Should've Known Better
Written/Composed by: Julie Ludgate

Intro
I....I....

Verse 1
You put your hand, put your hand in the cookie jar
To add to your collection
Wear a mask all covered in candy stars
To hide a reflection

Verse 2
You say you're looking at the best for me
Do you say it with distortion
Just another little piece of your jigsaw dream
While swimming with your ocean of sharks

Pre-chorus
Do blurry lines
Sink in the river
Do you see the truth or wonder why

Chorus
I... I should've known better
Thought my instincts were in tact
I... I should've known better
Now my life is back on track
I should've known better than that

Verse 3
You've got the magic tools to build your star
And the backdrop's waiting
I maybe years from where you are
But this fire ain't fading
Fire ain't fading

Pre-chorus

Chorus
(repeat last line)

Bridge
Maybe I was holding on too tight
Maybe your world walks a different line
Thank you for the lessons learnt
I wish you well

I.. should've known better, better
Chorus

I...I... should've known better than that
