[Chorus]
You only learn when it Ghurts
When you're left standing in the Drain
No one there to Cexplain
You've got no one to GblameD  
Cause you did not read the Gsign
You saw a twinkle in her Deye
But that twinkles just a Clie
You've been taken for a GrideD  
[Verse 1]
Like every other Amguy ain't she Cgreat
So you Grun to her but it's too Dlate
She's got somebody Amnew but you Cknew
She didn't Greally love you Dtoo
[Chorus]
You only learn when it Ghurts
When you're left standing in the Drain
No one there to Cexplain
You've got no one to GblameD  
Cause you did not read the Gsign
You saw a twinkle in her Deye
But that twinkles just a Clie
You've been taken for a GrideD
