Should Have Known

Come to your door one last time.

You don't have to ask me in.

We might not say the word good-bye

but we both know that's what this is.

I should have known

not to hold onto the hope

that you would feel something you don't.

I should have known.

Where is the woman in you?

From head to foot are you but stone?

Have you nothing of the fleeting moon?

Not one kind word before I go?

I should have known...

I'm sorry I can't say why

I felt I had to see you one more time.

Whatever I was looking for

I won't come looking any more

and I'm very sorry for

taking your time just to do

this last farewell at your door

that doesn't mean a thing to you.

I should have known...
