Lyrics

Somebody should have told me
That I would feel the way I do
Somebody should have told me
I should have stayed away from you
Somebody should have told me
About the pain, and the sleepless nights
Somebody should have warned me
And explain you'd never remain the same
Never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad?
I'm so sad over you
Better start to realize
You better open up your eyes
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share
Somebody should have told me
That my dreams just would fade away
Somebody should have warned me
Not to hope that you'd really say
Never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad?
I'm so sad over you
Oh, you better start to realize
Better open up your eyes
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share
Somebody should have told me, yeah
Never would have gone this far, no
Knowing you for what you are
Better start to realize
Better open up your eyes
(Better open up your eyes)
I never would have gone this far, no
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad?
I'm so sad over you
Better start to realize (Yeah)
Better open up your eyes
(Better open up your eyes)
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share
Somebody should have told me
Not to trust anything you say
Somebody should have warned me
That you would pick up and leave someday
You see, I never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad? (How could you?)
I'm so sad over you
Oh, better open up your eyes
Better start to realize
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share (Yeah)
Oh, never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad? (How could you treat me?)
I'm so sad over you
Oh, better open up your eyes
Better start to realize
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share
(See that we're losing the love)
Never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
