The sky looked blue to me
Guess I just couldn't see
The writing on the wall
How could I know?
I was about to fall
Well, here I go

Your smile was just a poker face
Said I could never ber replaced
I gues you told a lie
Said we'd always be
Together, you and I
But suddenly
You say there's a tear
Caught me unprepared

Next time warn me before
I found my heart on the floor
Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby
Cause I'm still feeling it hard
Caught me way off guard
Why am I the last to know?
When, baby, all I'm askinf for is

Gimme a heads up
Won't you, won't you gimme a heads up?
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down

Too late, it isn't fair
Came straight from out of nowhere
Don't even get the chance to play my part
Come from behind and smash my fagile heart
You say it's for the best
That way you get it over fast
It's just a little rip when you catch me blind
You pull the band-aid quick but baby I still don't see the tear
But you're sure it's there

Next time warn me before
I found my heart on the floor
Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby
Cause I'm still feeling it hard
Caught me way off guard
Why am I the last to know?
When, baby, all I'm askinf for is

Gimme a heads up
Won't you, won't you gimme a heads up?
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down

You thought it'd be easy
You though it' be clean
Snap me awake while I'm still dreaming my dream
Escape on your own terms
Just start moving on
You're miles away
Here I am thinking
Nothing is wrong

Next time warn me before
I found my heart on the floor
Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby
Cause I'm still feeling it hard
Caught me way off guard
Why am I the last to know?
When, baby, all I'm askinf for is

Gimme a heads up
Won't you, won't you gimme a heads up?
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down

Gimme a heads up
Won't you, won't you gimme a heads up?
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down
