I should’ve known

We used to talk until the sunrise came

Laughing like nothing would ever change

You said my secrets were safe with you

I believed every word was true

I told you things I was scared to say

Pieces of me I kept locked away

But you kept doing the things that hurt

Like my feelings didn’t matter first

Pre-Chorus

I tried to tell you how I felt

But you never really listened

Chorus

I should’ve known from the start

You’d be the one to break my heart

You knew the lines I asked you not to cross

Still somehow I was the cost

Now I’m staring at the sky alone

Thinking ’bout the things I should’ve known

’Cause the friend I trusted the most

Is the one I had to let go

Verse 2

Now every memory feels so strange

Like someone slowly erased our names

The laughs we had, the time we shared

Don’t feel the same now you’re not there

You promised you would stay the same

Said you’d always feel my pain

But promises fade over time

And silence says more than goodbye

Pre-Chorus

I kept hoping you would see

What you were doing to me

Chorus

I should’ve known from the start

You’d be the one to break my heart

You knew the lines I asked you not to cross

Still somehow I was the cost

Now I’m staring at the sky alone

Thinking ’bout the things I should’ve known

’Cause the friend I trusted the most

Is the one I had to let go

Bridge (soft and emotional)

Maybe I held on too tight

Trying to keep our world alright

But you can’t fix a heart alone

I guess that’s something I should’ve known

Repeating Hook (the super sad part, like in In the Stars)

I should’ve known

When you laughed like nothing was wrong

I should’ve known

I was holding on alone

I should’ve known

Even when you said you cared

I should’ve known

You were never really there

Final Chorus (big emotional finish)

I should’ve known from the start

You’d leave these pieces of my heart

You knew the things that hurt me most

Still you let our friendship go

Now I’m looking at the stars tonight

Trying hard not to cry

’Cause the friend I trusted the most

Is the one I had to outgrow

I should’ve known…

Yeah, I should’ve knoooown…
