I Should've Known Better Lyrics - This Side - Nickel Creek

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, I lost every bet 

Now you'd think that I should've known better 

Now I think that I, I would've seen it come 

My heart sank when I read that letter 

Sank like a stone, it sank like a stone 

A cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail 

A bad love like this is always bound to fail 

Your love meant trouble from the day we met 

If you want your things, they're on the front step 

An' now you'd think that I should've known better 

Now I think that I should've 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 head 

Somethings you can't take back, once they've been said 

I don't know what this love is for 

All I know is I don't want it anymore 

Now you'd think that I should've known better 

I should've seen it come 

My heart sank when I read that letter 

It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone
