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 mem'ry 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
[ guitar ]
It would be easier to face the morning if you were holding me tonight
But you left me without warning holdin' on to a heartache while she's holding you tight
Why is the last one to know
