I Should’ve Known Better Lyrics by Nickel Creek

Reasons Why: The Very Best

2002

Been a long time coming
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 think that I should've known better
Now you think that I, I would've seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
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
And now you think that I should've known better
And now you think that I, 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
Some things you can't take back
Once they've been said
Don't know what this love is for
All I know is I don't want it anymore
Now you 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
