Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Should've Known Better"
The Lyrics: 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. Why: Now, that's a bitter breakup.
