Been a long time comin`
And the cards were stacked
It`s been a long hard road
To hell and back
Your love meant trouble from the day we met
You won every hand and I lost every bet
Now you`d think that I should`ve known better
Now you`d think that I would have seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
A cup of cold coffee, yesterday`s mail
Hard love like that`s always bound to fail
Your love meant trouble from the day we met
If you want your things I put them out
On the front step
Now you`d think that I should`ve known better
Now you`d think that I would have seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
All alone in my kitchen, All alone in my bed
Some things you can`t take back once they`ve been said
I don`t know what this love is for
All I know is baby
I don`t want it anymore
Now you`d think that I should`ve known better
Now you`d think that I would have seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
It`s been a long time comin`
And the cards were stacked
It`s been a long hard road
To hell and back.
