I Should've Known lyrics
by Aimee Mann



I should thank you almostNo one could kill it off until you bled itBut I got rid of that ghost'though certain habits remain imbeddedWith the shadow of a doubtBut baby it was you who fed itAnd I don't know what else to sayBut I think you get it.I should've knownIt was coming down to thisI should've knownYou would betray me but without the kissI should've knownThe kind of set-up it is.And always isn't alwaysWhen it's not your photograph that I've been keepingBut you still live in those daysWhen I'd stay awake just to watch you sleepingYou delivered that blowBut it left a mark on me that you're not seeingAnd I don't know what else you hearBut it's not me weepingI should've knownIt was coming down to thisI should've knownYou would betray me but without the kissI should've knownThe kind of set-up it is.I should've seen the cracks in the ceilingAnd the mirror covered up with dustBut I was busy talking on the phoneI should've seen the obstacles but I said,This house was built for usHelloIs anybody home? I should've knownThe minute that we hit the wallI should've knownThe writing was upon the stallI should've known'cause rome was starting to fallAnd I should thank you, almost.
