No One Ever Tells You

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 swallows, time to fly

Why did she pretend until the bitter end

Till it broke my heart to say goodbye?

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

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

No one ever tells you before
