Been a long time comin' and the cards 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, I would've seen it come   My heart sank when I read that letter   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      An' 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   I should've seen it come   My heart sank when I read that letter   It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone
