I should have seen this coming
I didn't listen to the warnings
Instead too many long nights
Ended with "I'll be better in the morning"

I should have seen this coming
But instead I closed my eyes
Now my heart throbs
As my face fills with surprise

I should have seen this coming
Why did I let this start?
I thought everyone was wrong
When they said you'd break my heart

I should have seen this coming
Now there's nothing I can do
You're in love with her
And my heart is smashed in two
