I ran into an old friend today
We found what old friends find to say
And then he mentioned you
I guess he thought I knew
But no one had told me you were lovers

Nobody told me that a love could work this way
Nobody told me that a love could hurt this way
It never crossed my mind that you'd find someone new
Nobody told me, 'til he told me
That he's in love with you

I guess I won't be sleeping tonight
The memories are just too clear to fight
I know that it was me
Who wanted to be free
So, why is it now I'd feel so lonely?

Nobody told me that a love could work this way
Nobody told me that a love could hurt this way
It never crossed my mind that you'd find someone new
Nobody told me, 'til he told me
That he's in love with you

Old lovers are like cold winters
They can both cut you to the bone
Nobody tells you, nobody warns you
You've got to find out on your own

Nobody told me that a love could work this way
Nobody told me that a love could hurt this way
It never crossed my mind that you'd find someone new
Nobody told me, 'til he told me
That he's in love with you

How I wish that I could tell you
I'm still in love with you
