What it's like to love and lose
How it feels to waken
And have breakfast with the blues
How to go on living
How to face another day
No, no one ever tells you the way
No one ever tells you
How it feels to walk alone
Listening for those footsteps
Through the echo of your own
Suddenly it hits you
All those dreams weren't worth a dime
'Cause no one ever tells you in time
Long before
The icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallows
Time to fly
So why do we pretend
Till the bitter end
Till it breaks our hearts
To say good-bye
Well -
No one ever tells you
That 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
Long before
Our love boat's torn asunder
We can hear the thunder
Of the falls
So why do we go on
Sailing madly on
Till all we had is gone
Beyond recall
Beyond recall
No one ever tells you
That 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
It never comes easy
'Cause no one
No one, no one
Ever tells you
Tells you
No one ever tells you before
No one ever tells you before
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 living How to face another day No, no one ever tells you the way No one ever tells you How it feels to walk alone Listening for those footsteps Through the echo of your own Suddenly it hits you All those dreams weren't worth a dime 'Cause no one ever tells you in time Long before The icy winds of winter Autumn tells the swallows Time to fly So why do we pretend Till the bitter end Till it breaks our hearts To say good-bye Well - No one ever tells you That 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 Long before Our love boat's torn asunder We can hear the thunder Of the falls So why do we go on Sailing madly on Till all we had is gone Beyond recall Beyond recall No one ever tells you That 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 It never comes easy 'Cause no one No one, no one Ever tells you Tells you No one ever tells you before No one ever tells you before Explain Request ×
