Lyrics

VERSE
I did not know that she would soon go
I did not see when she stopped loving me
I would have preferred the truth another way
I'd like to have heard what she'd have to say

CHORUS
The end came quickly; it was over without a word
I never had a clue; I never heard
There was no ring on her finger; she had no time to linger
The end came quickly; it was over without a word

VERSE
When she first knew she did not want me
She could have said: "I want to be free"
But she never said a word about loving you
It may seem I should have known; I never knew

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I always thought we talked about everything
But now I know everything I need to know

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
There was no ring on her finger; she had no time to linger
The end came quickly; it was over without a word
