How Should I Know - Halie Loren

Friends say «it must be nice-

how’s the view from Paradise?»

I smile sadly once or twice

and say «how should I know?»

They wonder «why so blue?»

and when I tell them that we’re through

They ask what on earth I’ll do,

I say «how should I know?»

Things happen in their season

For no reason taught in school

Far wiser hearts than mine

Have tried to divine love’s ancient rule

That makes each one of us a fool…

So why dwell in the past

On a flame that burned to fast

Don’t ask me why it didn’t last

I’ll just say «how should I know?»

All that I know

Is that I miss you so…

Things happen in their season

For no reason taught in school

Far wiser hearts than mine

Have tried to divine love’s ancient rule

That makes each one of us a fool…

So why dwell in the past

On a flame that burned to fast

Don’t ask me why it didn’t last

I’ll just say «how should I know?»

All that I know

Is that I miss you so… Tonight.
