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 'Til 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
