Lyrics

Once upon a time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You saw me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me-e-e-e-e

I guess you didn't care
And I guess I saw that
And when I fell hard
It took a step back
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e-e

And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're falling, you're falling, you're falling-ing-ing-ing-ing

Now I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
An old thought in your head
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Oh-oh)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been, yeah
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh, trouble, (yeah) trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her or anyone or anything
Yeah-heh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there)
So shame on me now (you were right there)
Flew me to places I'd never been (Ooooh)
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, (trouble) trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
