I Should've Known

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 do remain imbedded
With the shadow of a doubt
Baby it was you who fed it
Yeah, I don't know what else to say
But I think you get it

[Chorus]
I should have known
That it was comin' down to this
I should have known
You would betray me but without the kiss
I should have 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'd delivere that blow
But it left a mark on me that you're not seeing
I don't know what else you hear
But it's not me weeping

[Chorus]

I shoulda 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 have known
The minute that we hit the wall
I should have known
The writing was upon the stall
I should have known
'Cause Rome was startin' to fall

Oh, I should of known
But tell me this
How was I ever gonna tell you so

And I should thank you, almost
