Dan Fogelberg - The Last To Know

Living in a house of cards
Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard
Giving in to differences
Straining to keep up appearances
Making believe the thread can be saved
You're aching to leave but deathly afraid of letting go
The threads entangled you so
Jealousies and legal fees
Running away like two refugees
Shadowed eyes and alibis
Tell you too late you've been victimized
Freedom is near but seems to elude you
Trying to change your dreams into what your needs allow
It should be easy by now
Why is love always the last to know
Falling back on better days
Trying your damndest to laugh
You've thrown those childish dreams away
It's over, you say, still you ask
Why is love always the last to know
Falling back on better days
Trying your damndest to laugh
You've thrown those childish dreams away
It's over, you say, still you ask
Why is love always the last to know
Why is love always the last to know
