Lyrics
THE LAST TO KNOW
SAW SOME FRIENDS OF OURS TODAY, GUESS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY, THEY WERE SORRY THAT WE'RE THROUGH, YOU AND I.
THEY SAID THEY SAW YOU OUT SOMEWHERE, AND YOU AND HIM MADE QUITE A PAIR, BUT AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T ASK ME WHEN OR WHY.
I JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF YOU KNOW, I SAID WELL THAT'S THE WAY THINGS GO, TOLD THEM I WAS IN A RUSH, I HAD TO RUN.
DON'T THINK THEY EVER DID CATCH ON AND IN A MINUTE I WAS GONE, NOW MY BREAKIN' HEART IS ASKIN' WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
CHORUS: DID YOU EVER THINK OF TELLIN' ME SOMEDAY?, MAYBE THEN WE COULD HAVE WORKED IT OUT, WE COULD HAVE FOUND A WAY.
IT HURTS TO WANT YOU SO, IT HURTS MORE TO LET YOU GO, IT HURTS MOST OF ALL TO BE THE LAST TO KNOW.
WELL I NEVER HAD A CLUE, IT WAS ALWAYS ME AND YOU, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS LOVE WE SHARED HAS DIED.
WHEN WE HELD EACH OTHER TIGHT IN THIS MORNIN'S EARLY LIGHT, WERE THOSE WORDS YOU WHISPERED TO ME ONLY LIES?
REPEAT CHORUS:
