Story Behind The Song
A romantic love affair that began on the movie set of Michael Crichton's "Sphere", took us across country and even through Canada, landing us in LA together to see if we could make it last. We could not. I regretted losing someone so dear to me and wrote this song.

Lyrics
Should've Known Better
Words and music by Amber Snider ©2000, Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP
Everyday I remind myself of what I believe
Or else my faith might escape me
All of the love in my heart has been locked away
And baby, you hold the key
I should've known better, I guess I never learn
I don't ever realize what I have until it's gone
Now It's taking all of the strength that I have...
Not to hold on.
I guess all along I've known it though I've tried hard to disown it
They were my own insecurities
But now I've come to realize after having said all of my goodbyes,
that you're they only one, that I'll ever need
Sweet memories there you go again sneaking up on me
like a long lost friend
I see your face everywhere but I can't find another like you anywhere
You're a ghost who keeps haunting me
I should've known better, I guess I never learn
I don't ever realize what I have until it's gone
Now it's taking all of the strength that I have...
Not to hold on. And try to move on.
