Should've Known Better

I got a bone to pick, a wound heal
should have done it privately, but here’s the mass appeal
I gave my all, gave it truthfully
but with a silver tongue, you turn truth to lunacy

and the eyes rise when you are near
the guard drops down, and girls shed a tear

Chorus I should have known better
Then to let this go on so long
Should have known better
but the song goes on and on, and on and on.

So you served your sentence, you did your time
yeah that’s warm and fuzzy, but what about mine?
You talked about me, you told a few lies.
But who picked up the mess, the mess you left behind

And the eyes rise when you are near
the guard drops down, and the girls shed a tear

Chorus

You think it’s only just a game,
(are you innocent is your conscious clean?)
Your actions don’t deny the shame
(are you innocent, innocent)

And the eyes rise when you are near
the guard drops down, and the girls shed a tear
