Last To Know

What took so long to build, took a moment to slip away

You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face

Time takes another day, changes you in subtle ways

Lifts you up then slowly lets you go

Sitting there across the room your smile looks like a threat

Living underneath the heel of what you might do next

Memory works in strange ways, cuts you down and makes you pay

One day you'll be walking fine, the next day lightning hits you from behind

One heart, one love

Two people can't rise above

Each time we fall

Don't know what I was thinking of

And don't say it's so, don't say it's so

Let me be the last to know

Seems we move backward now the further on we walk

It's hard to find a single line through all our double talk

Home late and drunk again, close the door, shut out the rain

One more day no damage done, my spirits falling sinking like the sun

One heart, one love

Two people can't rise above

Each time we fall

Don't know what I was thinking of

And don't say it's so, don't say it's so

Oh, let me be the last to know

Standing at your doorway, I can hear your voice inside

Telling all your friends what you're gonna say to me tonight

Oh, write me a better part, find the words to break your heart

Keep you on your knees forever, funny now my tongue gets tied together

One heart, one love

Two people can't rise above

Each time we fall

Don't know what I was dreaming of

Don't say it's so, don't say it's so

Oh, let me be the last to know
