All those nights you wouldn’t dance with me
You spent the whole time smoking
And avoiding all my friends
I should have known then

Down at the bottom, sitting in the car
You left me on the hilltop
To mourn alone the passing of my friend
I should have known then
I should have known then

All of the love could never be enough
To cover up the ugly and the sad
But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good
Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’vе ever had

You came in crying, sworе you needed God
Said it broke your heart to go
But I was in your way
There’s nothing left to say
So many lies that all begin this way
A home with a garden, and “I'm yours forever darling”
But you wrote the same old story in another woman’s bed
Just like all the other men I should have known then

All of the love could never be enough
To cover up the ugly and the sad
But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good
Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had
Now I know how it ends
But I should have known then
