She said you have to know I'm sorry
Then stood up and walked away
Through the door and out of the life
That he thought they'd made
He just sat there at the table
Until his coffee went cold
He never knew he'd play a character
In one of the oldest stories told
Some folks never see it coming
And others can tell from the start
Sometimes love will blindside you
And bust a whole right through your heart
She didn't think much on the way to the station
But wondered if she was jumpin' the gun
She didn't know when it all would hit her
But she didn't shed no tear not even one
He made his way back to the bedroom
Closing the blinds along the way
He stopped and stared at a picture
Of an old run down home in a busted frame
Some folks never see it coming
And others can tell from the start
Sometimes love will blindside you
And bust a whole right through your heart
She took that west bound Greyhound
And ended up in Big Sky
Trying to track down a feeling
But lately they're so hard to come by
Now everyday he checks the mailbox
Hopin' for a letter of some kind
Then he loads up in his pickup
And tried to drive the thought of her out of his mind
Some folks never see it coming
And others can tell from the start
Sometimes love will blindside you
And bust a whole right through your heart
