I Should Have Known

Paranoia sinking in

Memories left on my skin

Close my eyes to escape

But you found me

You always found me.

Snowflakes falling to the ground

Landing there without a sound

You took my hand in yours

And you led me astray

Led me astray.

I should have known when our eyes met

I should have known when our lips colided

I should have known when our skin touched

That you were trouble, trouble

And that you’d ruin me.

The taste of danger on your tongue

Things we did were so wrong.

The static generated through our skin

Electric, Electric.

Tideless waters in my lungs

The rumors when I was young

You always had control of me

Hypnotic, hypnotic.

I should have known when our eyes met

I should have known when our lips colided

I should have known when our skin touched

That you were trouble, trouble

And that you’d ruin me.

I should have seen when you didn’t call

I should have realized when I lost it all

I should have known when you broke my heart

That you would vanished, vanished

And that you’d abandon me.

I hear your steps in the snow

I turn around but you are gone

Perhaps this print you left inside

Will melt away

Someday…
