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-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-e
And she's long gone
When she'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
I 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
I 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
She'll never see you cry
Pretend she doesn't know
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-g-g-g-g
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-e
She was long gone
When she 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
I 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
I 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 him or anyone or anything
Yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
I 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
I 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
The lyrics to We Came As Romans's "I Knew You Were Trouble" describe a relationship that was doomed from the start. The singer acknowledges that he made a few mistakes in the past when he was involved with this person. The first verse alludes to the fact that the singer's interest was targeted by the subject in question, and they got him alone. This arrangement is confirmed in the second verse when the singer fell hard for someone who took a step back after making their intention known. As the song continues, the singer paints a picture of someone who is drowning, and he believes that it is because of this individual. The lyrics in the chorus repeat the message that the subject was "trouble" from the start and left the singer "lying on the cold hard ground."

Once upon time
At some point in the past
A few mistakes ago
Before some errors and misjudgments
I was in your sights
You noticed me, had your attention
You got me alone
You separated me and made me vulnerable
You found me
You located me
You found me
You located me
You found me-e-e-e-e-e
You located me (repeated for emphasis)
I guess you didn't care
You probably didn't have any regard for me
And I guess I liked that
Maybe I was attracted to that behavior
And when I fell hard
When I became deeply invested and committed
You took a step back
You distanced yourself from me
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e-e
You moved on without me (repeated for emphasis)
And she's long gone
The person who caused my downfall is no longer around
When she's next to me
Even though I'm with someone else
And I realize the blame is on me
I accept fault for what has happened
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I recognized that you were bad news from the start
So shame on me now
I regret my decisions and actions
I flew me to places I'd never been
You took me on an emotional journey
Till you put me down, oh
Until you hurt me and ended our relationship
No apologies
You don't express any remorse
She'll never see you cry
The person who hurt me won't show any vulnerability
Pretend she doesn't know
She'll act like she doesn't understand what's going on
That she's the reason why
She's responsible for the pain and hurt
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-g-g-g-g
You're struggling and overwhelmed (repeated for emphasis)
And I heard you moved on
I found out that you've moved on with your life
From whispers on the street
Through rumors and gossip
A new notch in your belt
You've added another conquest
Is all I'll ever be
To you, I was just an accomplishment
And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e-e
I finally understand (repeated for emphasis)
She was long gone
The person who hurt me was already gone
When she met me
Before our paths crossed
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah
I'm the one who was played and fooled
And the saddest fear comes creeping in
My biggest worry gradually takes over
That you never loved me
You never had genuine feelings for me
Or him or anyone or anything
You never truly loved anyone or anything
Yeah
Yes
Trouble, trouble, trouble
A constant source of problems and stress
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I recognized the issues were going to arise from the beginning
Trouble, trouble, trouble
A constant source of problems and stress
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I recognized the issues were going to arise from the beginning
Trouble, trouble, trouble
A constant source of problems and stress
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
I recognized the issues were going to arise from the beginning

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me all 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
[Pre-Chorus]
And she's long gone, when she'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
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
[Verse 2]
No apologies, she'll never see you cry
Pretends she doesn't know that she's the reason why
You're drowning
You're drowning
You're drowning
Now 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
[Pre-Chorus]
She was long gone when she met me
And I realize the joke is on me
Yeah
[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
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
[Bridge]
And the saddest fear, comes creeping in
That you never loved me, or him, or anyone, or anything, yeah!
[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
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

Taylor Swift: He broke my heart :'(
WCAR: She tore my heart out of my chest, stepped on it, set it on fire, threw it in a blender and poured it down my throat, suffocating me and drowning me in my own abysss of pain and agony, forcing me to reflect on everything I've ever been, to change myself and ruin my entire existence, marking myself with scars I can never erase and slaughtering the person I once was.
