Got me thinking as I'm slowly sinking Why I thought I needed you Got me feeling as my heart stopped beating Still I let myself be fooled Meanwhile, I knew it was there But I was too in love to care Deep down I knew it was there, I knew it was there Oh, you know how the story goes Why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know Oh, the heart is always last to go Then why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know, the last to know Eighteen, so blind Three of your own kind My luck, end up sharing you Late-night phone calls While I know you're not alone Still I kept on getting through Meanwhile, I knew it was there But I was too in love to care Deep down I knew it was there, I knew it was there Oh, you know how the story goes Why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know Oh, the heart is always last to go Then why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know, the last to know I said it, I still don't regret it It hurt, but I'll never forget it I said it, I still don't regret it It hurt, but I'll never forget it Oh, you know how the story goes Why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know Oh, the heart is always last to go Then why was I the last to know Why was I the last to know, the last to know

There's a story goin' 'round About you, about me Spreads fast in a little town Just like wildfire What your words say And what I heard, baby It just ain't addin' up Come on, give it straight to me Put me out my misery I deserve at least that much If it ain't me, if it ain't me Why can't you just let me go? 'Stead of your friends tellin' their friends Tellin' someone I don't know I don't mind if you change your mind That's fine, but baby what hurts the most Is I was the first to fall, yeah, yeah And now I'm the last to know And now I'm the last to know Just be honest with yourself now The way you never were with me Did you really need a full crowd to watch us go down Like a drama on a TV What your friends say And what I heard, baby Just ain't addin' up Come on give it straight to me Put me out my misery Well, I deserve at least that much If it ain't me, if it ain't me Why can't you just let me go? 'Stead of your friends tellin' their friends Tellin' someone I don't know I don't mind if you change your mind That's fine, but baby what hurts the most Is I was the first to fall, yeah And now I'm the last to know Now I'm the last to know The last to know we were comin' to an end The last to know what everybody else did I went from your only one To the only one you never told Now if it ain't me, if it ain't me Why can't you just let me go? 'Stead of your friends tellin' their friends Tellin' someone I don't know I don't mind if you change your mind That's fine, but baby what hurts the most Is I was the first to fall, yeah Now I'm the last to know Now I'm the last to know Now I'm the last to know Now I'm the last to know

I didn't see the fire burn to ashes I couldn't feel the winds of change I was lost inside the passion, Blinded by the memory of a flame I guess I should've felt it when you touched me I should've seen it in your eyes But I believed you really loved me . Why can't I believe you've said goodbye Oh why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the Last to let go Why is the one left behind The one left alone with no one to hold The last one to know It would be easier to face the morning, If you were holding me tonight But you left me without a warning Holding onto a heartache while she's Holding you tight Oh why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the Last to let go Why is the one left behind The one left alone with no one to hold The last one to know

I saw a friend as I walked down the street He said "Let's sit down Get a load off our feet" We found a table inside a cafe I smiled as we ordered and wondered what he had to say He said "I'm sorry I just found out" I asked him what he was talking about He said it's no secret (no secret) We've all heard the news You're taking it great You don't even look like you're blue Why, oh, why was I the last one to know? Thought our love would do nothing but grow It's all over town I was the last one to know (the last one) I left my friend and walked out on the street My head had been high Now I looked at my feet My friends all look sad (look sad) As I passed them on by My friends were all sad I was the last to know why (the last one) Why, oh, why was I the last one to know? Thought our love would do nothing but grow It's all over town I was the last one to know (the last one) Mmmmm to know (the last one) Mmmmm to know (the last one) Mmmmm to know

There's nothin' more beautiful than a distant star Proof of our ignorance Proof of how small we are (proof of how small we are) Remember gettin' high on the hood of my broke down car Remember how innocent We no longer are (we no longer are) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long We're not here for long (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we bravely carry on (carry on) We like the words love, trust, and invincible But then trust falls apart and love turns miserable And the light disappears The only thing clear (the only thing clear is) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone But still, we carry on Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh We all need a memory we can hold onto At least a few souvenirs to show some proof We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we barely carry on (as we barely carry on)

I know sorry is not enough To erase all the pain from when I messed up I'm not here to overturn my conviction These eyes are on the road, the road to redemption Well, it's only until you lose Everything that you love that you're forced to choose And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention To keep you on the straight, the road to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness It's a long way down from the fall And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction To find my way back, back to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness When everyone left me for dead You never gave up, you never quit I remember the words you said We can still be good again Now I'm looking you in the eyes My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide And I'm never going back to that condition You showed me the way to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end, you never left when I needed your, needed your forgiveness

Listen to the wind blow Watch the sun rise Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies Break the silence Damn the dark, damn the light And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! (I run in the shadow) Oh! Keep it together! (I'm running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (Still running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (I'll run in the shadow) I'm running in the shadows I'm still running in the shadows
