Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I should have known that it would end this way
I should have known there was no other way
Didn't hear your warning, damn, my heart gone deaf
[Verse 2]
I should have known, look at the shape you're in
I should have known but I dove right in
One thing is for certain as I'm standing here
I should have known
[Verse 3]
Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
[Verse 4]
I should have known I was inside of you
I should have known there was that side of you
Came without a warning, caught me unaware
[Verse 5]
I should have known, I've been here before
I should have known, don't want it anymore
One thing is for certain I'm still standing here
I should have known
[Verse 6]
Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
I should have known
[Verse 7]
Maybe you was right, didn't want a fight
I should have known
Couldn't read the signs, couldn't see the light
I should have known
[Verse 8]
Though I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave my heart in debt
No, I cannot forgive you yet, no, I cannot forgive you yet
You leave us all in debt
I should have known
