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-  
 
[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, the hurt inside?  
I never knew, please tell me why  
 
All the nights you left me crying  
Keeping company with my fears  
That some day you'd leave me lonely  
And that's exactly what you did  
I swore that I was your baby  
The darkest night for you I'd bear  
Now that I need you here with me  
I call your name and you're not there  
 
You left me standing  
So empty-handed  
Out in the cold  
How was I to know  
That my love didn't matter  
And my world was shattered  
'Cause you left me here  
Drowning in tears, oh why?  
 
[Chorus] 
 
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 x 2] 
 
I never knew, I never knew  
I never knew it could be like this  
 
[Repeat until fade]
