I should have known
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found out what I wanted, I found out when I needed to
You thought me kind-a-hearted, I heard that when I wanted you
Being wrong isn't easy, right's another way
Being wrong isn't easy, right's another way
A-when you want me, just think like you're ready to
Like me when I want to, why me does it have to be?
Everyone tried to tell me, right's another way
Everyone tried to tell me, right's another way
Trust me to fall apart, trust you to know
Just you and no-one else, just me alone
Why did it have to be? I should have known
Oh I should have known
I can't tell, did you mean it? Did you mean what I think you did?
I won't give less you need it, just a bit could be overhead
I won't wait for a minute, can't hesitate
I won't wait for a minute, can't hesitate
Trust me to fall apart, trust you to know
Just you and no-one else, just me alone
Why did it have to be? I should have known
Oh I should have known
