Reba McEntire - How Was I To Know

My world revolved around you
Every word was a promise I was hanging on
Swept up inside a whirlwind
I just couldn't see the end till you were gone.

Oh I thought I would fall apart
With shattered dreams and a broken heart
Scrambling in the dark

How was I to know that I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along -
How was I to know

What I was so afraid of
Turned out to be my freedom in disguise
Now I know what I'm made of
Guess it just took some time to realize

Oh I was blind I couldn't tell
Put too much faith in someone else
Gave up on myself

How was I to know that I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along -
How was I to know

[Solo]

How was I to know that I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along -
How was I to know
How was I to know
