It's been a long time comin' and the card 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 should've seen it come

My heart sank when I read that letter

It 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

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

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
