  • Another sleepless night I can't explain
    Somebody said they heard me call your name
    The radio won't let you leave my mind
    I know it's over but I don't know why

    Should've known better
    Than to fall in love with you
    Now love is just a faded memory
    Should've known better
    Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
    And my heart still aches for you

    There was no risk that I wouldn't take
    And not a promise that I didn't make
    All I asked was that you just hold on
    And now I'm wondering what I did wrong

    Should've known better
    Than to fall in love with you
    Now love is just a faded memory
    Should've known better
    Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
    And my heart still aches for you

    I gave you all of my body and soul
    Never believing we might lose control
    I took my hands off the wheel

    I can't remember if the lies were true
    It's been a million years since I touched you
    I thought time might help me win this game
    But being away from you is slowly driving me insane

    Should've known better
    Than to fall in love with you
    Now love is just a faded memory
    Should've known better
    Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
    And my heart still aches for you Writer/s: Richard Marx
