美國創作紅星［理察．馬爾克斯］──流行搖滾──［Shouldve Known Better／應該更清楚］

Another sleepless night I cant explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio wont let you leave my mind
I know its over but I dont know why

Shouldve known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Shouldve known better
Now Im a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you

There was no risk that I wouldnt take
And not a promise that I didnt make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now Im wondering what I did wrong

Shouldve known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Shouldve known better
Now Im 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 cant remember if the lies were true
Its 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

Shouldve known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Shouldve known better
Now Im a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you
