  • 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 lyin' 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
    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, hey

    I knew you were trouble when you walked in (oh)
    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, yeah
    Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
    Oh, oh (yeah)
    Trouble, trouble, trouble
    Oh, oh
    Trouble, trouble, trouble

    And the saddest fear
    Comes creepin' 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 (never been)
    'Til you put me down, oh
    I knew you were trouble when you walked in (knew it right there)
    So shame on me now (knew it right there)
    Flew me to places I'd never been
    (Ooh) now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
    Oh, oh
    Trouble, trouble, trouble (oh)
    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 Writer/s: Johan Karl Schuster, Martin Max Sandberg, Taylor Alison Swift
