I was the first to see
The things you’ve done to me
I was the last to know
You could hurt me so
How I tried and I tried
Now I cry and cry
I was the first to see but the last to know I feel her in your touch
I see her in your eyes
That smile you’re wearin’ ain’t meant for me
That cheatin' heart of yours was never mine
You just held me close to keep your alibi I was the first to see
The things you’ve done to me
I was the last to know
You could hurt me so
How I tried and I tried
Now I cry and cry
I was the first to see but the last to know You walked out the door with no goodbye
Left your shadow still hangin’ in the night
My heart loving you was my only sin
And I knew right then I’d never let you in again Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces one by one
Tryin’ to find myself after all you’ve done
Your shadow’s still lingerin’, but I’m takin’ back my soul
You won’t haunt these halls when I finally let you go Maybe someday I’ll forget your name
But tonight I’m drowning in the truth and the pain
Love ain’t supposed to cut this deep
But you carved your goodbye where my heart used to beat I was the first to see
The things you’ve done to me
I was the last to know
You could hurt me so
How I tried and I tried
Now I cry and cry
I was the first to see but the last to know
