The writing on the wall.

1. You said when we got married, that you would never leave.
You said that God created you especially for me.
Now I see your bags are packed, you say you?re leaving me.
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
(chorus)
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
Like those letters that you wrote, that I never read.
I never saw it coming, it never dawned on me.
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
(music break)
2. Like that time at the restaurant, when you were there with me.
That guy came in and sat with you, as plain as it could be.
I never thought about it, I didn?t see a thing.
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
(chorus)

3. Now that you are seeing him, you say you don?t need me.
You say he gives you all those things, you never got from me.
I hope he makes you happy, I hope he always sees.
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
(chorus)
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
Like those letters that you write, that I never read.
I never saw it coming, it never dawned on me.
It must have been the writing on the wall I didn?t see.
It must have been the writing, It must have been the writing,
It must have been the writing, on the wall, I did not see.
