You should have known...
You should have known,
That I’d be there for you
When you guys broke up
And we were still in that fight
You should have known,
That I’d make it to your birthday party
Even though I was a hundred miles away
At my grandmother’s funeral
You should have known,
That I’d lie to your parents
When you were missing that night
And I said you were with me
You should have known,
That I’d take the blame
When we were out past curfew
And we were caught by the cops
You should have known,
That I’d egg his house
When you broke up with him
Because he raised his fist to you
You should have known,
That I wasn’t the one
Who told your parents
That you were no longer a virgin
You should have known,
That I was a vegetarian
And had been for years
But you got me a hamburger anyway
You should have known
That I’d make it to the hospital
Even if it was ten at night
When your mom got in that car wreck
You should have known
That I would be hurt
Because I really liked him
But you were his date to the dance anyway
You should have known
That something was wrong
When I left crying
And hadn’t been back for days
You should have known
That I had perfect vision
Even though you saw me with glasses
But they were fake
You should have known
That things wouldn’t always be like this
With me riding shotgun forever
Because you should have known
Just a little more about me
That I’d be there for you
When you guys broke up
And we were still in that fight
You should have known,
That I’d make it to your birthday party
Even though I was a hundred miles away
At my grandmother’s funeral
You should have known,
That I’d lie to your parents
When you were missing that night
And I said you were with me
You should have known,
That I’d take the blame
When we were out past curfew
And we were caught by the cops
You should have known,
That I’d egg his house
When you broke up with him
Because he raised his fist to you
You should have known,
