Should've Known

I gave my trust like an open door, let you in Then you took more I swore I'd learned, I swore I'd see, but I still let the wrong Ones close to me I paint their faces with shades of light, hoping for gold in a World of spite But every time, they prove me wrong, another lesson, another Scar too long I should've known, I should've seen, the way you twist The way you scheme I second-guessed the voice inside, now I'm left with Wasted time I should've known, I should've learned, but I got burned I got burned I got burned I let my heart lead instead of my mind, ignored the warning Let myself go blind Every time, I held out my hand, only to watch them Turn to sand They wore their masks, I played the fool, believed in kindness Forgot the cruel But now I see, now I know, that not all hearts are Meant to glow I should've known, I should've seen, the way you twist The way you scheme I second-guessed the voice inside, now I'm left with Wasted time I should've known, I should've learned, but I got burned I got burned I got burned I'm done pretending, I'm done with lies, no more excuses No more alibis My intuition speaks so loud, and I won't doubt it now No more hoping, no more games, I won't be fooled, won't Take the blame I see through every hollow face, I walk away, I leave no trace I should've known, I should've seen, the way you twist The way you scheme I second-guessed the voice, inside, now I'm left with wasted time I should've known, I should've learned, but I got burned I got burned I won't ignore the signs again, I'll trust myself I won't pretend The fire's out, the bridges burned, this time I've finally learned.
