lyrics

How was I to know
Oh, without warning
Was I drawn in to you

When trouble came
You kept me sane

I know, I know it's hard for you
Believe me. I am not immune
I only wanted the best for you
I know you've heard it all before
I'm like a broken record

You can read me like a book
You always could

I know, I know it's hurting you
Believe me. I'm not bulletproof
I only wanted the best for you
I know you've heard it all before
I'm like a broken record
But something has to change
'Cos I always play the fool
And I'm no-one's fool
I'm no-one's fool

How was I to know
How was I to know
Oh
