[Intro] Oh yeah, ooh Ooh, ah [Verse 1] 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 I [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 of hurt inside I never knew, please tell me why (Why?) [Verse 2] All the nights you left me crying Keeping company with my fears That someday you'll leave me lonely And that's exactly what you did I swore that I was your baby The darkest night for you I bare Now that I need you here with me I call your name and you're not there [Pre-Chorus] You left me standing (So) So empty-handed Out in the cold How was I to know that My love didn't matter My world was shattered 'Cause you left me here Drowning in tears, oh I [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 Can't you see the tears of hurt inside I never knew, please tell me why [Bridge] 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] 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 (No explanation why) I never knew what we had would die All I wanna do is hide away (Hide away, baby) From all the hurt and pain of yesterday Can't you see the tears of hurt inside (Hurt inside) I never knew, please tell me why (Can't you see what you've done to me?) I never knew that you would be the one (Snatched my heart and left me lonely) To come along and snatch my heart and run (Why, oh why?) Away from me with no explanation why (Tell me why) I never knew what we had would die All I wanna do is hide away (Hide away) From all the hurt and pain of yesterday (Pain of yesterday) Can't you see the tears of hurt inside (Inside) I never knew, please tell me why [Outro] I never knew, I never knew (Never knew) I never knew I never knew (I never knew it, baby) I never knew, I never knew (Never knew) I never knew, I never knew it would be like this I never knew, I never knew (I never knew) I never knew I never knew (I never knew it, baby) I never knew, I never knew (Never knew, no) I never knew, I never knew it would be like this
