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.
