I Thought I Saw It Coming

I thought I saw it coming Still took me by surprise It was difficult to sidestep Nowhere left to hide Even though I saw it coming It's out of your control But I'm feeling so much better Now you're off my payroll Seems we're always waiting For those demons to appear Seems we're always watching If it's one or if it's per The magic has been broken The spell has washed away Fences have been shifted As a smell of slow decay Even though I saw it coming The memory plays tricks I tried so hard to make it all work out I thought I saw it coming But you put me in a fix This house is made of straw ... And not bricks How long before I forget The fuss I made of you You are just a memory And I was passing through I thought I saw it coming Never saw you walk the line What you need is help, my friend ... What you need is time Now I gave all I could to you But it never was enough We all know where we're heading when the going gets tough I thought I saw it coming We all went for the ride A problem for your dignity ... And a problem for your pride Even though I saw it coming The memory plays tricks I tried so hard to make it all work out I thought I saw it coming But you put me in a fix This house is made of straw ... And not bricks
