This song is the 10th track on the album Wasting Light of the Foo Fighters.
In this song, Dave tells about Kurt Cobain’s suicide (and, as he has stated publicly, the suicide of another close friend). That’s why Krist (former Nirvana bassist) and Dave played together on a studio album for the first...
[Verse 1]
I should've known that it would end this way
I should've known there was no other way
Didn't hear your warnin'
Damn my heart gone deaf
I should've known, look at the shape you're in
I should've known, but I dove right in
One thing is for certain
As I'm standin' here, I should've known
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
[Chorus]
Though, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
[Verse 2]
I should've known I was inside of you
I should've known there was that side of you
Came without a warnin'
Caught me unaware
I should've known, I've been here before
I should have known, don't want it anymore
One thing is for certain
I'm still standin' here, I should've known
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay your hands in mine
Feel me one last time
[Chorus]
Though, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
I should've known
[Bridge]
Maybe you was right, didn't wanna fight
I should have known
Couldn't read the signs, couldn't see the light
I should have known
[Chorus]
No, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet
No, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave us all in debt
I should've known
I Should Have Known was written by Dave Grohl & Taylor Hawkins & Nate Mendel & Chris Shiflett & Pat Smear.
I Should Have Known was produced by Butch Vig.
Foo Fighters released I Should Have Known on Tue Apr 12 2011.
On the notion that the lyrics were inspired by the death of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl said this in an EMusician article dating back to May 1, 2011:
There is something to be said for starting over. To be able to say, if this all ended now, I’d be totally okay with it, and I’d start over again. ‘Cause...
