The Last One To Know

Reba McEntire · 50 Greatest Hits [2008]

I didn't see the fire burn to ashes

Couldn't feel the winds of change

I was lost inside the passion

Blinded by the memory of a flame



Guess I should've felt it when you touched me

I should've seen it in your eyes

Well I believed you really loved me,

Why can't I believe you said goodbye?



Oh why, is the last one to know

The first one to cry and the last to let go

And why, is the one left behind,

The one left to love, with no one to hold,

The last one to know



It would be easier to face the morning

If you were holding me tonight

You left me with out a warning

Holding on to a heartache

While she's holding you tight



Tell me why, is the last one to know

The first one to cry and the last to let go

And why, is the one left behind,

The one left with love, with no one to hold

The last one to know
