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 imbedded

With the shadow of a doubt

But baby it was you who fed it

And I don't know what else to say

But I think you get it.

I should have known

That it was coming down to this

I should have known

You would betray me but without the kiss

I should have 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 still live in 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

And I don't know what else you hear

But it's not me weeping

I should have known

That it was coming down to this

I should have known

You would betray me but without the kiss

I should have 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 have known

The minute that we hit the wall

I should have known

The writing was upon the stall

I should have known

'Cause Rome was starting to fall
