How Was I To Know

(Hindsight is always 20/20)

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

i chased you until you caught me

and then you let me go

you faced me until i sought you

how was i to know

how was i to know…how was i to know that you

would change your mind so fast

how was i to know…how was i to know that we;

that we just wouldn’t last

no one told me that you were fucked

and that this is what you do

no one said how bad it sucked

but now it’s back on you

how was i to know…how was i to know that i

was just your latest thing

how was i to know…how was i to know that they

wouldn’t say a bloody thing

i lost you when i got you

or when you got me i’m sure

now it’s you that’s gotten lost

and wanting so much more

how was i to know…how was i to know that you

were broken deep inside

how was i to know…how was i to know that you

had many things to hide

i know you’re a fucking nutjob baby

there’s a lot of that in me

we can be really bad for each other

we could you know we should you know ya wanna see?

how was i to know…how was i to know that i would

ever think of you like i do

how was i to know…how was i to know that all the time

all the time i’d think of you

you got deep inside my head baby

and i can’t make it go

not saying that it’s a bad thing

it’s easy to want you so

how was i to know…how was i to know that i

was just another guy you knew

how was i to know…how was i to know that i

could be so in love with you

heartbreak
