Get to Know Someone

You really get to know someone
When they're falling out of love with you
Do they look you in the eye and say it
Or whisper it to someone new?
Point the finger, point the blame
Or hold you 'til it's all okay?

Saying "losing love is no one's fault"
Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
When all infatuations gone
And you tell each other what you want
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone

You really get to know someone
It's all in the way they say goodbye
Do they curse your name and slam the door
Or kiss you for just one last time?
It's all in the way they tell the story
Do they take the heat or take the glory

Hey, losing love is no one's fault
Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
When all infatuations gone
And you tell each other what you want
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone

So don't make it harder than it has to be
Make it easy on me

You really get to know someone
When a little bit of time has passed
When you see each other out somewhere
It's all in the way their eyes react
You turned around and smiled at me
Kinder than you had to be

You could've been a total stranger
But that's not really in your nature
And though it was a flash of time
I'm glad I got to call you mine
I learned a lot from loving you
I learned a lot from losing you

When all infatuations gone
And you see each other moving on
When all the playing games is done
You really get to know someone
Yeah, when there's nothing left to prove
It's a little too late, but ain't it true?
You really get to know someone
When they're falling out of love with you
