How Was I Supposed to Know

by @MyDreamIsAStory

If you somehow stopped by tonight Would I still tell you goodbye? Tomorrow's not gonna come And yesterday should have mattered anyway But today was just another day And all I did was wish you had stayed I never should have let you down I never should have walked into that door How was I supposed to know Things were gonna change? I wanted to be there To show you I really cared Somehow tell you these forgotten words But then I unfolded I fell down to my knees And suddenly I knew you weren't there I never should have said goodnight I never should have let you walk out that door How was I supposed to know Things were gonna change? Maybe because it was meant to be And maybe this is how it's gonna be Torn apart And all broken up Fighting for what's left And trying to remember you Dear God trying to hold on I maybe should have come along I maybe should have said something more How was I supposed to know Things were gonna change? How was I supposed to know I'd never see you again? How was I supposed to know It was going to end so soon? How were we supposed to know Living without you would feel like this?
