I Should`ve Known Better — текст песни (Nickel Creek)

(Carrie Ann Newcomer)

Been a long time comin`, and the cards were stacked.
It`s been a long hard road to hell and back.
You were love-makin` trouble from the day we met.
You won every hand; I lost every deck.

Now you`d think that I should`ve known better.
Now you`d think that I would have seen it comin`
My heart sayin`, when I read that letter:
Sink like a stone; sink like a stone.

If I could stop yesterday`s mail,
Brown love like this is always bound to fail.
Your love meant trouble from the day we met,
If you wanted your things, they`re on the front step.

Now you`d think that I should`ve known better.
Now I think that I should have seen it comin`
An` my heart sayin`, when I read that letter:
Sink like a stone; sink like a stone.

All alone in my kitchen, all alone in my head.
Some things you can`t take back once they`ve been said.
Don`t know why this love is full.
All I know is I don`t want it anymore.

Now you`d think that I should`ve known better.
I, I should have seen it comin`
My heart sayin`, when I read that letter,
Sink like a stone; sink like a stone.
