Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My world revolved around you

Every word was a promise I was hanging on

Swept up inside a whirlwind

I just couldn't see the end till you were gone

[PreChorus]

Oh, I thought I would fall apart

With shattered dreams and a brokayen heart

Scrambling in the dark

[Chorus]

How was I to know that I'd be okay?

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know I would be this strong?

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know?

[Verse 2]

What I was so afraid of

Turned out to be my freedom in disguise

Now I know what I'm made of

Guess it just tookay some time to realize

[PreChorus]

Oh I was blind, I couldn't tell

Put too much faith in someone else

I gave up on myself

[Chorus]

How was I to know that I'd be okay?

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know I would be this strong?

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know?

[Chorus]

How was I to know that I'd be okay?

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know I would be this strong?

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know?

How was I to know?
