i could've warned you

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Friendly fire burned the rafters of the house we built
Only water could endow the fire that rages still
I tried to hold you, but we know it's over by now, mm-hmm
I read the final page but kept the endin' held in sight
Saw the rain but couldn't fall if it seen you in the light
I could've told you, but I'd rather hold you right now

Flowers will die, but we still go to buy them
So what's it so wrong keepin' our ending quiet?
Maybe if I told you, we wouldn't be here right now

But I didn't want to
And I don't regret you
So I'll sit here and mourn you
Knowin' I could've warned you
But I didn't want to
And I don't regret you
So I'll sit here and mourn you
Knowin' I could've warned you

We didn't make it, but at least we both made something real
'Cause I'm just missin' you instead of wonderin' how you feel
Do I still owe you for all the things I didn't say?
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
I wrote out an end, but I still love the drivin'
So what's it so wrong keepin' our ending quiet?
Maybe if I told you, we wouldn't be here right now

But I didn't want to
And I don't regret you
So I'll sit here and mourn you
Knowin' I could've warned you (ooh)
But I didn't want to
And I don't regret you
So I'll sit here and mourn you (and I will sit here and mourn you)
Knowin' I could've warned you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
