Whatever

I should thank you almost 
no one could kill it off until you bled it 
but I got rid of that ghost 
'though certain habits still remain imbedded 
with the shadow of a doubt 
but baby it was you who fed it 
and I don't know what else to say 
but I think you get it. 
[Chorus] 
I should've known 
it was coming down to this 
I should've known 
you would betray me but without the kiss 
I should've known 
the kind of set-up it is 
And always isn't always 
when it's not your photograph that I've been keeping 
but you still live in those days 
when I'd stay awake just to watch you sleeping 
you delivered that blow 
but it left a mark on me that you're not seeing 
and I don't know what else you hear 
but it's not me weeping 
I should've known 
it was coming down to this 
I should've known 
you would betray me but without the kiss 
I should've known 
the kind of set-up it is. 
should've seen the cracks in the ceiling 
and the mirror covered up with dust 
but I was busy talking on the phone 
I should've seen the obstacles but I said, 
this house was built for us hello? is anybody home? 
Instrumental: 
I should've known 
the minute that we hit the wall 
I should've known 
the writing was upon the stall 
I should've known 
'cause Rome was starting to fall 
and I should thank you, almost
