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.
