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.

[Pre-Chorus]
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.

[Chorus]
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.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Pre-Chorus]
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.

[Chorus]
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.

[Bridge]
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.

[Final Chorus]
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.
