Should Have Known

You know about safety You know not to drink too much You know not to eat so much You know not to drink too much You know to excerise You know not to drink too much You know to save for your future You know not to drink too much You know take your daily vitamin You know not to drink too much You know don’t smoke You know not to drink too much You know live a drug free life You know not to drink too much ...not to drink too much You know meet with your doctor ...to be open about any concerns you have You know you should always wear condoms I should have known that...If I had known that I wouldn’t be sitting here in my shame; In the shadow of my pain, with only myself to blame. It’s not my fault, I thought I knew him. But I didn’t know all the placed he had been.
