I saw it coming for a year or so
But I paid it no mind
My friends knew something that I did not know
But then, friends are so kind
A different touch and not as much
Making love impatiently
You tell the world you're not my girl
But that's not the same as telling me
I'm the last to know
Why did I have to be the last to know?
No one's ever gonna tell me
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I'm the last to know
You always said you'd never let me go
No one's ever gonna tell me
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I close my eyes and keep you, still, you stare
Like I'm not the same
My heart is pounding but no one can hear
It's all in the game
You start to speak, I feel so weak
Every word comes nervously
The final line like poison wine
Now the curtain falls, at last I see
I'm the last to know
Why did I have to be the last to know?
No one's ever gonna tell me
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I'm the last to know
You always said you'd never let me go
No one's ever gonna tell me
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I'll be in pain with a fool's romance
Waiting in vain for a second chance
Hard to believe
A memory is all I'll be
I'm the last to know
(I never said I'd love you forever)
I never thought I'd be the last to know
(You have to let go)
No one's ever gonna tell me
(Tried to tell you)
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I'm the last to know
(I never said I'd love you forever)
You always said you'd never let me go
(You have to let go)
No one's ever gonna tell me
(Tried to tell you)
So I guess I'll be the last to know
I'm the last to know
(I never said I'd love you forever)
Why did I have to be the last to know?
(You have to let go)
No one's ever gonna tell me
(I tried to tell you)
So I guess I'll be the last to know
(Tried to tell you)
Guess I'll be the last to know
(Tried to tell you)
Guess I'll be the last to know
But I paid it no mind
