How Was I to Know

My world revolved around you

Every word was a promise I was hangin' on

Swept up inside a whirlwind

I just couldn't see the end till you were gone

I thought I would fall apart

(With) shattered dreams and a broken heart

Scramblin' in the dark

How was I to know

That I'd be ok

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know

I would be this strong

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know

What I was so afraid of

Turned out to be my freedom in disguise

Now i know what I'm made of

Guess it just took some time to realize

I was blind, I couldn't tell

I put too much faith in someone else

Gave up on myself

How was I to know

That I'd be ok

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know

I would be this strong

I had what it takes all along

How was I to know
