*lyrics*

Verse:
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.

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.

Pre-Chorus:
Lay your hands in mine.
Heal me one last time.

Chorus:
Though I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
Leave my heart in debt.

Verse:
I should have known
I was inside of you.
I should of known
there was that side of you.
Came without a warning,
caught me unaware.

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.

Pre-Chorus:
Lay your hands in mine.
Feel me one last time.

Chorus:
Though I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
Leave my heart in debt.
No I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.
I should have known.

Bridge:
Maybe you was right,
Didn't wanna fight.
I should have known
Couldn't read the signs,
couldn't see the light.
I should have known.

Chorus:
Though I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
Leave my heart in debt.
No I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.
No I can not forgive you yet.
No I can not forgive you yet.
You leave us all in debt.
I should have known.
