No one ever tells you
What'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 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
Why did she pretend
Till 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 sting

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.
