"Heads Up" lyrics

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 be replaced
I guess 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 find 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 asking for is
Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you
Gimme a heads up, oh
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 fragile 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 find 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 asking for is
Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you
Gimme a heads up, oh
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down

You thought it'd be easy, you thought it'd 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

Yeah

Next time warn me before
I find 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 asking for is
Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you
Gimme a heads up, oh
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down

Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
Before you tear me down
