My tip of the hat to Hank Williams 'Your Cheatin' Heart'! The Last to Know © Riff Beach Original Music (Riff Beach - RiffWerx -2026) You changed the story And left few clues A little less truth Every time you choose To tell me nothing And let it burn They say the last to know Is the first to learn I could feel it coming I could see it taking a bad turn You can hide the flames But you can’t change the burn The last to know Is the first to learn What’s left’s not right When there’s nowhere to turn You can keep your secrets I’m caught in the churn When the last to know Is the first to learn Oh, yeah The last to know Is the first to learn You kept me waiting While word got around I sensed a silence Before I heard a sound Everybody else knew it Everybody but me Now I’m the first one Who can finally see I could feel it coming I could see it taking a bad turn You can stop the smoke But you can’t change the burn The last to know Is the first to learn What’s left’s not right When there’s nowhere to turn You can hold your secrets I’m caught in the churn When the last to know Is the first to learn Oh, yeah The last to know Is the first to learn I learned what you meant From words unsaid I learned who you were When you left me in bed Now the truth smells clean And the tables turned When you’re the last to know But the first to learn Last to know First to learn Last to know First to learn Oh, yeah I was the last to know And the first to learn What’s left’s not right When there’s nowhere to turn You can keep your secrets I’m caught in the churn The last to know Is the first to learn The last to know Is the first to learn
