I should have seen it coming

I should have known t'was true

I just did not believe her

when she told me she'd seen you

how much do I have to hurt and cry

oh how many dues I've paid

for now my world's a lonely place

and life's a masquerade

I thought that we were happy

but changes you began

you made excuses when you came home at night

said you'd been with a friend

but I knew that you were lying

I could see it in your eye

and when I said, 'let's talk it over'

you wouldn't even try

And I just went on by myself

pretending all was well

but my life just kept on crumbling

and my friends, I couldn't tell

I couldn't say that life was bad

that you loved me no more

for you said, if I didn't like it

that I could hit the door

You told me that there was no one else

but you were tired of being US

but when I cried and tried to explain

you said you didn't understand all the fuss

you said you were tired of being with me

and you left me here alone

now life's a masquerade of lonely tears

inside my lonely home

You told me you just felt stifled

you just needed some fresh air

but then she saw you with that pretty girl

she said you made quite a pair

divorce papers came and I did sign

what else was I to do

you phoned to say that you were sorry

but that you and me were through

I thought of all the things we'd planned

the things that we would do

for life would be so happy

just silly me and you

I remembered that you said you loved me

and all the plans we'd made

but now the tears fall down like rain

and life's a masquerade

I heard about your wedding

they say, t'was quite an affair

but it almost broke my heart in to

it was more than I could bear

but I will make it through this

for I have met someone

and other plans too, I've made

now my life is happy once again

no more the masquerade

Well you came by the other day

said your divorce was final, it was all a big mistake

it's funny how the tables turn

said you'd like to come again and try once more

just for old time sake

but I told him I was sorry

 for my love he didn't keep

for now my crying days were over

no more groveling at his feet

And I also told him

t'was much too late

that I really cared no more

he hung his head, wept a bit and then he walked the foor

I told him how I'd met some one

and his love for me was true

and I told him just to hit the door

for now I too, was through
