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 livin', how to face another day
 No one ever tells you the way
 No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone
 Listenin' for those footsteps through the echo of your own
 Suddenly, it hits ya, all those dreams weren't worth a dime
 But 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 until the bitter end
 'Til it broke my heart to say goodbye?
 No one ever tells you that it's just another fling
 No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sing
 Someone tells you later, "All is fair in love and war"
 But no one ever tells you before
