Should Have Known Better Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
When you're bleeding that's when the sharks come
And you don't know when they'll pull you under water
And when they take their first bite they never let go
My momma told me don't trust nobody
Some kiss your bruises just so they can taste your pain
Some stitch your wounds just to rip 'em up again
But you chose the wrong enemy
And now it's time to take a sip of your own medicine
'Cause karma is a bad bitch
Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well you didn't know better
Like vultures you were gathering
Pick on every piece of rotten flesh
But you haven't seen the last of me just yet
Now that I'm the best of me
I bet you wanna taste it
Instead you get your own medicine
'Cause karma is a bad bitch
Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well you didn't know better
Don't put your hand in the fire for someone
'Cause when you turn your back they'll pull the gun
You thought I'd never get up
Never say never
You should have known better
Dear two faced friend
Now you're looking like regret
But when you said you had my back
You held a knife inside your hand
Now let me know, Now let me know
Why are the ones behind the trigger those you'd take a bullet for?
Sometimes the ones who smile the prettiest are rotten to the core
You burnt me too many times, no I had enough
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love?
Maybe I should have known better
Thought you'd never fail me
Guess never say never
Did you think it wouldn't matter
I'd forgive and forget
Well you didn't know better
Don't put your hand in the fire for someone
'Cause when you turn your back they'll pull the gun
You thought I'd never get up
Never say never
You should have known better
Haha well you should
Known better, known better, known better, known better
Known better by now
[Verse 1: Enemy Inside]
The opening verse uses vivid metaphors to describe the predatory nature of betrayal. The "sharks" represent those who take advantage of vulnerability, attacking when the person is weakest. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where trust is a dangerous thing, as even those who seem to help may have harmful intentions.
[Chorus: Enemy Inside]
In the chorus, the singer reflects on the mistake of trusting the wrong person, realizing they "should have known better." The repetition of the phrase "never say never" points to the unexpected nature of the betrayal, where the singer once believed this person would never fail them. Now, the realization that forgiveness is not easily given highlights the impact of the betrayal.
[Verse 2: Enemy Inside]
This verse expands on the imagery of deceit, describing those who pick at the singer like "vultures" feeding on their vulnerability. Despite the harm caused, the singer declares they are now stronger and that the betrayer will face the consequences of their actions. The notion of karma reappears here, reinforcing the idea of poetic justice.
[Bridge: Enemy Inside]
In the bridge, the song takes a more personal turn, addressing a "two-faced friend" directly. The singer questions the loyalty of those they trusted and reflects on the heartbreak of realizing that those who seem to care can be the ones holding the knife. The lines suggest a deep sense of betrayal from someone who was supposed to be supportive but instead caused pain.
[Outro: Enemy Inside]
The outro repeats the refrain that the betrayer "should have known better," driving home the message that their actions have consequences. The singer has grown from the experience and is no longer naive. The mocking tone of "you should have known better" at the end signals that the power dynamic has shifted, and the singer is now in control of their emotions.
