Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

I was in your sights, you got 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 liked that

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e

[PreChorus]

And he's long gone when he's next to me

And I realize the blame is on me

[Chorus]

'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

[Refrain]

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Verse 2]

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowni-i-i-i-ing

And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street

A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be

And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e

[PreChorus]

He was long gone when he met me

And I realize the joke is on me, hey

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Bridge]

And the saddest fear comes creeping in

That you never loved me or her

Or anyone, or anything, yeah

[Chorus]

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 (Knew it right there, knew it right there)

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

Now I'm lying on the cold, hard ground

[Refrain]

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Outro]

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

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