How Was I To Know

My world revolved around you

Every word was a promise

I was hangin' on

Swept up inside a whirlwind

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

Oh, I thought

I would fall apart

With shattered dreams and a broken heart

Scramblin' in the dark

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 the strong

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know

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 took some time to realize

Oh, I was blind

I couldn't tell

Put too much faith in someone else

I gave up on myself

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 the strong

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know

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 the strong

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know, how was

I to know
