Verse 1]

Nobody warned me how fast it all goes,
one day you’re young, next day your old.
Know why your old man stayed up all night,
starin’ out a window in the kitchen light.


[Chorus]

Nobody warned me
about the speed of life.
How the best days disappear
while you were busy strugglin’ in life.

Nobody warned me
you could wait this long…
to finally meet the right heart
when your life is gone.

[Verse2]
Nobody tells you the years move quiet,
slip through your hands while you’re standin’ beside ‘em.
You keep thinkin’ there’ll always be time…
then somebody you love is gone before their time.

[Final Chorus]

Nobody warned me
how beautiful and cruel
this whole life could somehow be
all at the same time too.

Nobody warned me
how fast the years fly by…
one day you’re lookin’ for yourself…
wonderin’ how it all slipped by.

Nobody warned me
life could feel this strange…
how the world keeps movin’ forward
while everything and everyone change.

Nobody warned me
They didn't warn me
