I Should've Known Lyrics - 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.
