I should've known.

Let me start with your eyes.
The first day I met you,
you had me feeling butterflies.
It was just that night.
But look at me now...
I'm still here wishing that night,
just so I could look into your eyes.
I should've known,
the night wasn't enough.

I thought I could be,
the reason for your smile.
Even on the day we had our fights.
But, look at me now...
I've forgotten to smile.
I wonder what has changed.
I should've known,
you weren't meant to be mine.

I keep riding to the beach,
but it doesn't feel the same.
Without you, the ride seems incomplete.
Look at me now...
Staring at the sky,
finding hard to spend a day.
I should've known,
the past was going to hurt.

The scent you left behind,
would be a flower that never dies.
Time has passed by.
But, look at me now...
I can't forget you, why?
I should've known,
healing needed some time.

Everything is fading away,
from the smoke I consume.
Hiding from sadness,
learning to revive.
Look at  me now...
finding myself.
I should've known,
Nothing is permanent.
