lyrics

There was only one message waiting when I got home

It was the sound of my own voice

Cursing you for leaving me alone

We both agreed that this was moving way to fast

And it's a recipe for disaster

'Cause I'm not built to last

Like you

I knew, I knew, I knew you were too good to be true

And while I hesitate to say that we had plans

It was understood that the cards were in your hands

For all I know you could be washed up on the shore

You can show me disturbing pictures

And I will paint you a hundred more


You say I got a warped imagination and a twisted view

But I don't have to write a script to a horror flick to spell it out to you
To you

I knew, I knew, I knew this was too good to be true

Just a day ago I tried to make a deal with father time

Please extend this amazing moment

And you won't have to listen to me whine

But all my cries and my complaints fell on deaf ears

Because that moment passed me by and today is the day that's dragging on for years


You sound surprised to hear that I am such a fragile man

But you can see it in my posture

That I have carried all the bags I can

Not the bags under my eyes, but I have earned them too

From all the sleep I lost from losing

Just like I lost you
Lost you


I knew, I knew, I knew you were too good

I knew, I knew, I knew, you were too good to be true
