Reba McEntire – The Last One To Know Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn’t see the fire burn to ashes
Couldn’t feel the winds of change
I was lost inside the passion
Blinded by a memory of a flame
Guess I should have felt it when you touched me
Should have seen it in your eyes
I believed you really loved me
Why can’t I believe you said goodbye
[Chorus]
Why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why is the one left behind the one left alone
With no one to hold
The last one to know
[Verse 2]
Now it would be easier to face the morning
If you were holding me tonight
But you left me without a warning
Holding on to a heartache while she’s holding you tight
[Chorus]
Why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why is the one left behind the one left alone
With no one to hold
The last one to know
