[Verse 1]
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 still remain embedded
With the shadow of a doubt
But, baby, it was you who fed it
And I don't know what else to say (Oh)
But I think you get it

[Chorus]
I should've known (dot dot dot)
That it was coming down to this
I should've known (dot dot dot)
You would betray me but without the kiss
I should've known (dot dot dot)
The kind of set-up it is

[Verse 2]
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 (Oh)
But it's not me weeping
[Chorus]
I should've known (dot dot dot)
It was coming down to this
I should've known (dot dot dot)
You would betray me but without the kiss
I should've known (dot dot dot)
The kind of set-up it is

[Bridge]
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?

[Chorus]
I should've known (dot dot dot)
The minute that we hit the wall
I should've known (dot dot dot)
The writing was upon the stall
I should've known (dot dot dot)
'Cause Rome was starting to fall

[Outro]
(Ohh, dot dot dot, ooh, ah) Ah, whoa-oh
(Ohh) Ah-ah-ah
(Ohh, dot dot dot, ooh, ah) Oh, I should've know
Tell me this (Ohh)
Who was ever gonna tell you so? (Ahh)
That I should thank you almost
