Now You know

Verse 1]

You found the past I buried deep,

The names I swore I’d never speak.

Your eyes were calm, but I felt the storm,

I broke the heart I swore to keep warm.

You hurt me once, I made it even,

Told myself revenge was freedom.

But I became what I despised,

A sinner draped in her own disguise.

And now the truth is crawling through the door,

You see the cracks I can’t ignore.

I tried to love you clean again,

But dirt don’t wash away the sin.

Now you know, all the sins on my hands,

All the ways I tried to make you understand.

I was broken, I was lost in the pain,

I played your game and wore your name in vain.

Now you know, and I’m scared you’ll go,

But I’m begging for a love I broke.

We built a life on fragile trust,

Glass castles turn to dust.

I swear the way I love you now,

Is truer than I knew how.

It wasn’t you I tried to destroy,

It was the echo of the past boy,

The one that shattered me in half,

And I thought vengeance was the path.

But now I see what karma means,

It’s you looking through my sins at me.

And every tear I used to cry,

Feels like a debt I can’t deny.

Now you know, all the sins on my hands,

All the ways I tried to make you understand.

I was broken, I was lost in the pain,

I played your game and wore your name in vain.

Now you know, and I’m scared you’ll go,

But I’m begging for a love I broke.

If forgiveness has a face,

I pray it’s yours in this place.

If redemption has a sound,

It’s your heart still beating loud.

Don’t let the past define what’s real,

I finally know how to feel.

If you walk away tonight,

At least I told the truth this time.

Now you know, every scar, every lie,

Every tear that I let dry.

But I swear this love, it’s not the same,

I’ve burned the girl who played those games.

Now you know, and I still hope,

That you’ll choose me even though…

Now you know.
