Higgins, Missy - How Was I to Know Lyrics
When the order came to dig the well
To crack the earth to pull the oil
To take the blood out from my mother's veins
Well I broke the ground to feed the mouth
I did not here the warning sound
How was I to know
How was I to know
I'd be a stepping stone
To the end
The end of everything
How was I to know
On the day I built a house so high
It's antenna did scrape the sky
So my neighbour built a higher one
Then again his neighbour after him
Till racing through the clouds was all that mattered
Up and up the buildings went
Glass and stone and hard cement
Till all the green was left to die below
How was I to know
How was I to know
I'd be a stepping stone
To the end
The end of everything
The end of everything
How was I to know
Long ago I caught a pretty fish
Blue and silver and delicious
And I knew she'd line my pockets green
So I bought a bigger boat that had
A net to scrape the ocean and
I fished until one day that net was empty
How was I to know
How was I to know
I'd be a stepping stone
To the end
The end of everything
How was I to know
And how are we to now
Turn these stepping stones around
Back to everything that matters
Can that place even be found or is it lost
Forever
The end of everything
The end of everything
How was I to know?
How was I to know?

Higgins, Missy How Was I to Know Comments
2020 strong ✊
2020 anyone here ?
I fell in love in love with this song as a child. Then I developed a thing for sad songs.
This song just randomly popped in my head and I just looked it up. Weird how songs can just pop in your head after years
Bloody Mary bloodia maria
I'm crying
Beautiful woman, beautiful song. Love, love, love it.
Personally relatable. I didn't get to respond. Never saw her again.
Don't listen to this with a broken heart... Makes u hate the person for leaving because it's something they wasn't ready for you were secure in what you felt... Now she's gone
What a great and beautiful song.
I LOVE Somber music like this..............The background music is just full of "Feeling"....
But DANG I wanna cry, and I can't even Relate to the video/lyrics.......omg!! ;_;
Still listening In 2019😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
Greetings from Nigeria 😍
Nice tune 2019
I am here because I know Missy Higgins is a talanted musician...so.. please support her
This is your song
Heard it on the Bold and the Beautiful. Liam and Steffy's breakup song! :(
https://youtu.be/E86b5-mNjss?t=951
It’s all or none.
2019 bish I was here
M. you who dares to stand where I stood.
Smallville. Great song.
Comparing this song to the new Lana Dell Reys song Mariners apartment...
2019 💜
2019 ❤️
who is here in 2019 ?
Discovering it just right now ,, sadly..GOOD SONG
one of the best songs ever
Who's here because of the amazing OTH?
That tv series changed my life. ❤ I will always turn to it when I'm going through a hard time.
I find women write breakup songs from a completely different perspective than men. No disrespect to men (cuz I am one) but this is a brutally honest, open and accepting reality of her situation. "It's been great and I thank you, but it's time to move on, even thought that's not what I want." My take. And a really great song.
I just heard this on the radio like a normal person would 🤷♂️
31/10/09........through to current and beyond.......
Broke up with my ex for the same reasons this song conveys. I grew up with this song but it's been a long time since I've heard it and I looked it up today and I understood the meaning behind it finally. Hurts so much but its what's needed.
I know its not so known but, ghost whisperer?
Katherine Q. Me
Smallville nostalgia
Smallville :3

Still one of THE most touching songs I know.
Gets to me everytime.
There is not a day go by that I don't think about you. I want to still meet you.
Anyone else here because of Cardinal Burns?
Heard rhis on PLL
After so many years since my breakup I finally get this song. Like every single line of these lyrics is me.
such a sad song you can feel the pain in her voice. Beautiful
I love this song.
I think Missy is incredibly good.

I love her voice beautiful missy
Sometimes the best thing someone else can do for us, is to let us go.
Smallville algumas temporadas...
I just love it! From long ago!!!
I've been saying this for years, this is how songs should be like. Words with meanings and emotions that I can relate. None of that sex, drugs, and violence shit!
american top 10 with casey kasem bought me here i miss that radio program.
Worst subtitles ever
SMALLVILLE
Oh my God this is such a beautiful song. Her voice is so sweet. This song moves me in the best way possible.

Evan e Riley
Amazing ❤
Odd video for it.
Beautiful song. ❤
I'm here because this song has been stuck in my head for like, 6 months
This song is so mature......It is a love song.....about knowing what is good for yourself and the person you love......and when the love is there....no denying it is there, but you have to leave....It isn't about being self-centered....I think she wants to stay, but she can't.....and it just hurts.....she leaves for her partner and herself. It is sad, but strengthening as well....It isn't weak......It means a lot to me!!
classic!
I've never heard this, but this is that CLASSIC Y2K feeling, love this, that sentimental, "everything's gon'na be ok" vibe right after 2000 hit lol
you meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all ...I don't know if I could stand anther hand upon you
He'll never love you more than I could
who in 2019?? I am watching preety little liars and this song is deeply in my heart. Unfortunately this song makes me sad and the last thing i want to do is crying but after all i love it
Sad songs can release dopamine, there is a positive element. :)
Smallville Damn I miss those days!
Ncis... Ziva giving lock his exes number saying its the least I could do and walking away

Great song!!!!!
Pretty Little Liars
Still Listening into the new year of 2019! Happy New Year!
Who you are, is strong without me. Live your life, live your life without me. You'll be ok, and I'll be Ok without you. I'LL find a way. Maybe someday.
It was used in _PLL_ but this time _Ghost Whisperer_ S5E12 brought me. It is a beautiful song...heartbreaking but so full of love & truth.
