I Knew You Were Trouble
Tiffany Alvord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was in your sights
You got me alone, you found me
You found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Because I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on a cold hard ground
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
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
He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize the joke is on me
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
When your saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me
Or her or anyone or anything
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Pull me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, 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
I don't know if you know who you are
Until you lose who you are
The song "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Tiffany Alvord talks about how the singer fell for someone who was trouble from the start. She knew that the person was not good for her, but still, she ended up getting involved with him. The song talks about how the person she fell for did not care for her and ended up hurting her. The lyrics also reference how the singer blames herself for getting involved with someone she knew was not right for her.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I knew you were trouble when you walked in," which emphasizes that the singer knew from the start that getting involved with this person was a mistake. The lyrics also mention the cold hard ground, which illustrates the pain and sadness that the singer feels after getting hurt by the person she fell for.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about getting involved with someone who is trouble and the pain that can come from ignoring the warning signs.
Line by Line Meaning
Once upon time, a few mistakes ago
In the past, before I made a few mistakes
I was in your sights
You had your eyes on me
You got me alone, you found me
You separated me from others and tracked me down
You found me, you found me, you found me
You kept finding me even when I tried to hide
I guess you didn't care
Perhaps you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And maybe I actually enjoyed it
And when I fell hard
And when I fell in love deeply
You took a step back
You backed away from me
Without me, without me, without me
Leaving me alone without you
And he's long gone
He has left for a long time
When he's next to me
Even though he appears to be by my side
And I realize the blame is on me
And I realize I am responsible for this situation
Because I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I already knew you would be a problem when you arrived
So shame on me now
I should be ashamed of myself now
Pull me to places I'd never been
You pulled me to new experiences and situations
So you put me down oh
And then you degraded me
No apologies
You never apologized for your actions
He'll never see you cry
You won't let him see you upset
Pretend he doesn't know
Act like he doesn't realize what he's done
That he's the reason why
That he's the cause of my distress
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
I am struggling and suffocating in my emotions
And I heard you moved on
I heard that you moved on
From whispers on the street
I heard rumors from others
A new notch in your belt
Someone new you have conquered or dated
Is all I'll ever be
I'll only be another conquest to you
And now I see, now I see, now I see
And now I understand the situation
He was long gone when he met me
He had already left before we met
And I realize the joke is on me
And I realize I was the person that was fooled
When your saddest fear comes creeping in
When your greatest fear becomes a reality
That you never loved me
That you never truly cared about me
Or her or anyone or anything
Or anyone or anything else
I don't know if you know who you are
I am unsure if you know your true self
Until you lose who you are
Until you lose your sense of identity
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, I am in trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I already knew you were a problem when you came into my life
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I am in trouble

"I Knew You Were Trouble"
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
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
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
'Til 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 drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning.
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
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah!
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til 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
And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there, you were right there)
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
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
