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 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
