I Should've Known

I should thank you almost

No one could kill it off until you bled it

But I got rid of that ghost

Though certain habits still remain embedded

With this shadow of doubt

Baby it was you who fed it

Well, I don't know what else to say but I think you get it



Chorus:



I should've known that it was coming down to this

I should've known you would betray me but without the kiss

I should've known the kind of set up it is



And always isn't always

When it's not your photograph that I've been keeping

But you're still living those days

When I'd stay awake just to watch you sleeping

You delivered that blow

But it left a mark on me that you're not seeing

Well, I don't know what else you hear but it's not me weeping



Chorus:



I should've known that it was coming down to this

I should've known you would betray me but without the kiss

I should've known the kind of set up it is



I should've seen the cracks in the ceiling and the mirror covered up with dust

But I was busy talking on the phone

I should've seen the obstacles but I said this house was built for us

Hello...is anybody home?



I should've known the minute that we hit the wall

I should've known the writing was up on the stall

I should've known 'cause Rome was starting to fall



Oh, I should've known

Well tell me this

Who was ever gonna tell you so
