It was a cold day in December
I remember it so well
You captured my whole being

And you left me in a spell

You warmed my heart with passion

Desiring all of you
You left me cold in the summer
I wish that I only knew but-


[Chorus:]
I never knew that you would be the one

To come along and snatch my heart and run
Away from me with no explanation why
I never knew what we had would die

All I wanna do is hide away
From all the hurt and pain of yesterday
Don't you see the tears, the hurt inside?

I never knew, please tell me why

All the nights you left me crying

Keeping company with my fears
That some day you'd leave me lonely
And that's exactly what you did

I swore that I was your baby
The darkest night for you I'd bear
Now that I need you here with me

I call your name and you're not there

You left me standing

So empty-handed
Out in the cold
How was I to know

That my love didn't matter
And my world was shattered
'Cause you left me here

Drowning in tears, oh why?

[Chorus]


After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever

Oh why did our love have to go away?
I don't know how, I don't know when
But I know, I'll never love this way again


[Chorus x2]


I never knew, I never knew
I never knew it could be like this


[Repeat until fade]
