No one ever tells you
What it's like to love and lose
How it feels to waken
And have breakfast with the blues
How to go on livin'
How to face another day
No one ever tells you the way
No one ever tells you
How it feels to walk alone
Listenin' for those footsteps
Through the echo of your own
Suddenly it hits ya
All those dreams weren't worth a dime
But no one ever tells you in time
Long before the icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallow time to fly
Why did she pretend
Until the bitter end
'Til it broke my heart to say goodbye
No one ever tells you
Thats it's just another fling
No one ever warns you
When your heart begins to sing
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war
But no one ever tells you before
