How It Feels - The Correspondents

How was I to know, how was I to know

How you’d feel?

Until you put us back, put us back

On an even keel?

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

When I tried to read the signs

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You told me everything was fine

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You find the problems are all mine

I can trace it back

To one evening under a diamond sky

Usual three word phrases weren’t reciprocated

I had to ask why

Silence for too long (far, far too long)

Any trace of a smile in your face was gone

Jealousy, the little green eyed monster, dancing with you and me

It could have been so easy for me to see

The cracks that had appeared

If only I’d stopped to think of all the times

That you’d always feared

Other people would come into play

Eyes, lips, then bodies be swayed

And you believed that you’d been betrayed

When no such games had ever been played

You push me

By questioning my integrity

Then I push you

By dismissing your views

You push me

I can’t remember how it used to be

Why push through?

Is this what love has made us do?

How was I to know, how was I to know

How you’d feel?

Until you put us back, put us back

On an even keel?

How was I to know, how was I to know

How you’d feel?

Until you put us back, put us back

On an even keel?

Now you’re blind to the monster in your mind

You find some ways to convince you every time

I’m later back than I said I’m gonna be

I’m not in another lover’s arms

Seduced by the charms of a person we met twice

Or a person I once said was nice

Addicted to bad ideas

Which turn your love to fears

You push me

By questioning my integrity

Then I push you

By dismissing your views

You push me

I can’t remember how it used to be

Why push through?

Is this what love has made us do?

How was I to know, how was I to know

How you’d feel?

Until you put us back, put us back

On an even keel?

How was I to know (how was I to know)

How was I to know (how was I to know)

(When I tried to read the signs) (how was I to know)

How you’d feel (how was I to know, how was I to know)

(You told me everything was fine)

Until you put us back, put us back

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

(You find the problems are all mine)

On an even keel

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

When I tried to read the signs

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You told me everything was fine

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You find the problems are all mine

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

When I tried to read the signs

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You told me everything was fine

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

You find the problems are all mine

How was I to know?

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

(How was I to know, how was I to know)

How was I to know?
