[Verse 1]
Oh, lovin' you was so hard
But I played the role, and I did my part
I kept lovin' you so hard
You raised the stakes, so I bet my heart

[Refrain]
In a losing game that I couldn't win
You set me up, you did me in
But who's to blame, when I was so naive?
Thought you felt the same, and I can't believe

[Chorus]
That you always knew
You always knew
That you'd never be true
I trusted you
But you always knew
You always knew
That it wasn't you
That it wasn't you
You always knew

[Verse 2]
Love was never in the plan
You only had yourself in mind
What's hard for me to understand
Is why you'd even waste my time
You always had the better hand
I just couldn't read your facial signs
How could you love me, put it all on the line?
[Refrain]
I lost my heart
In a losing game that I couldn't win
You set me up, you did me in
But who's to blame, when I was so naive?
Thought you felt the same, and I can't believe

[Chorus]
That you always knew
You always knew
That you couldn't be true
I trusted you
When you always knew
You always knew
That it wasn't you
That it wasn't you
You always knew
