Known Better - SUMMY

A baby girl without a home Tragedy's reign left her alone I guess I shoulda known better But she's a citizen of the world A right to life her cry's unheard I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better Headlines are real or just the news Between the lines there's human truth I guess I shoulda known better Each day I'm faced with irony but Just can't feel casual about casualties no I guess I shoulda known better I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better It's never the critic that counts Cause critics only wanna talk While enlightened minds and open hearts Together make this world a better place Awakening a better choice It only starts if you lift your voice And say I shoulda known better And so next time I'll know better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better

It was summer in late July I remember that fairy night We were driving around the coast Wore your jacket 'cause I was cold In the moment I couldn't speak Made me feel like I was everything And maybe I believed you And I'd do it all again To go back to that night To the moment we had And I hope you're filled with regret With the words left unsaid You let it end the two of us These are, these are the days That don't feel the same They don't because you said it after All the words from your mouth They mean nothing now They don't because you said it after I remember the time we had But now we can't get it back I wonder where feelings go Somewhere that I'll never know One minute you held me close But now it's just getting cold Again I feel it And I'd do it all again To go back to that night To the moment we had And I hope you're filled with regret With the words left unsaid You let it end the two of us These are, these are the days That don't feel the same They don't because you said it after All the words from your mouth They mean nothing now They don't because you said it after These are, these are the days That don't feel the same They don't because you said it after All the words from your mouth They mean nothing now They don't because you said it after It don't because you said, said it after It don't because you said it after
