  • It's 7:35
    She's someone else's wife
    I can get on with my life
    And that thrills me
    She married him today
    Her daddy gave the bride away
    I heard a tear rolled down her face
    And that kills me
    'Cause now I can see why
    She's finally crying

    How was I supposed to know
    She was slowly letting go
    If I was putting her through hell
    Hell, I couldn't tell
    She could've given me a sign
    And opened up my eyes
    How was I supposed to see
    She never cried in front of me

    Yeah, maybe I might've changed
    It's hard for me to say
    But the story's still the same
    And it's a sad one
    And I'll always believe
    If she ever did cry for me
    They were tears that you can't see
    You know the bad ones
    And now I can see why
    She's finally crying

    How was I supposed to know
    She was slowly letting go
    If I was putting her through hell
    Hell, I couldn't tell
    She could've given me a sign
    And opened up my eyes
    How was I supposed to see
    She never cried in front of me

    Without a doubt, I know now
    How it oughta be
    'Cause she's gone and it's wrong
    And it bothers me
    Tomorrow I'll still be asking myself

    How was I supposed to know
    She was slowly letting go
    If I was putting her through hell
    Hell, I couldn't tell
    She could've given me a sign
    And opened up my eyes
    How was I supposed to see

    How was I supposed to see
    She never cried in front of me
