I Should`ve Known — текст песни (Aimee Mann)

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 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`ve known
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 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`ve known
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 upon the stall
I should`ve known
`cause Rome was starting to fall

and I should thank you, almost.
