[Verse 1] You walked in wearing trouble Like it fit you way too well Red lips and a slow smile And a story I could tell I heard every warning Saw every flashing sign But good sense never stood a chance Once your hand was holding mine [Pre-Chorus] I knew the fire I knew the flame Still I stepped right in again [Chorus] I should’ve known better Should’ve turned around Should’ve left your memory On the wrong side of town But your love hit harder Than a whiskey double shot I should’ve known better But damn, I’m glad I did not [Verse 2] You had midnight in your heartbeat And gasoline in your kiss Every little bad decision Led me straight to something like this We burned through every red light Like the devil paid the fine And every time I swore I’d leave You pulled me back across that line [Pre-Chorus] I knew the danger Knew your name Still I played that losing game [Chorus] I should’ve known better Should’ve turned around Should’ve left your memory On the wrong side of town But your love hit harder Than a whiskey double shot I should’ve known better But damn, I’m glad I did not [Bridge] Maybe some roads ain't for saving Maybe some fires ain't meant to die Maybe some mistakes are worth making Just to feel that alive [Breakdown] Yeah, I knew better I just didn't care [Final Chorus] I should’ve known better Should’ve turned around Should’ve left your memory Six feet underground But your love hit harder Than anything I got I should’ve known better But damn, I’m glad I did not [Outro] Yeah, I knew better I just didn't stop
