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 and I lost every bet
Now you'd think that I should've known better
Now you'd think that I would have seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
A cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail
Hard love like that's always bound to fail
Your love meant trouble from the day we met
If you want your things I put them out
On the front step
Now you'd think that I should've known better
Now you'd think that I would have 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 bed
Some things you can't take back once they've been said
I don't know what this love is for
All I know is baby
I don't want it anymore
Now you'd think that I should've known better
Now you'd think that I would have seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
It's been a long time comin'
And the cards were stacked
It's been a long hard road
To hell and back.How can you stand there and deny it
after all we have been through
How can you stand there and deny it
and make a fool out of you
Collapsing like houses of cards
and landing on splinters and glass
Wish I could fake it like you do
wish i could fake it just like you
How can you stand there and deny it
How can you stand there and deny it
Trust me now
Collapsing like houses of cards
and landing on splinters and glass
They crush your heart
but spare your feet
like judging people
you've yet to meet
well time is running fast
upon your reflection
trust me now
How can you stand there
Stand and deny it
