Baby, I know the story

I've seen the picture

It's written all over your face

Tell me what's the secret

That you've been hiding

And who's gonna take my place?

I should have seen it coming

I should have read the signs

Anyway

I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

I thought this love would never end

How was I to know?

You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

And I who thought you were my friend

How was I to know?

You never told me

Baby, you should've called me

When you were lonely

When you needed me to be there

Sadly, you never gave me

Too many chances

To show you how much I care

I should have seen it coming

I should have read the signs

Anyway (anyway)

I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

I thought this love would never end

How was I to know?

You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

And I who thought you were my friend

How was I to know?

You never told me

About the pain and the tears

If I could I would

Turn back the time

I should have seen it coming

I should have read the signs

Anyway (anyway)

I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

I thought this love would never end

How was I to know?

You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

And I who thought you were my friend

How was I to know?

You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

I thought this love would never end

How was I to know?

You never told me

Can't believe that I'm the fool again

And I who thought you were my friend

How was I to know?

You never told me.
