I Knew Anyway”
(Verse 1)
You never had to say a word,
I heard the truth between the lines.
I saw the weight you tried to carry,
Like it wasn’t breakin’ you inside.
You thought you hid it all so well,
The tears, the fears, the past you hate —
But baby, I was watchin’ closely,
And I loved you anyway.
(Pre-Chorus)
I knew about the late-night pain,
The ghosts that whisper in your brain.
I knew the lies he told,
And how they made you feel ashamed.
But I didn’t flinch, I didn’t run —
I stayed when others walked away.
They told me not to love you.
But I did it anyway.
(Chorus)
I knew… and I stayed.
I saw your cracks and didn’t fade.
I held your heart like something sacred,
Even when it pushed me away.
You didn’t have to be perfect,
You didn’t have to explain…
I saw the truth you buried deep,
And I chose you anyway.
(Verse 2)
They said you were a lost cause,
That I was just setting fire to hope.
But I saw your light through all the shadows,
And I never let go of the rope.
Even when you shut me out,
Even when you let him near —
I stayed with arms wide open,
Just waiting till the fog was clear.
(Pre-Chorus)
I knew the love you couldn’t say,
The way your eyes gave you away.
I knew the battles in your chest,
Even when you turned your face.
I didn’t need a fairytale,
I just needed you to stay…
But even when you couldn’t,
I still loved you anyway.
(Chorus)
I knew… and I stayed.
I saw your cracks and didn’t fade.
I held your heart like something sacred,
Even when it pushed me away.
You didn’t have to be perfect,
You didn’t have to explain…
I saw the truth you buried deep,
And I chose you anyway.
(Bridge)
You think I don’t know, but baby — I know.
Every silence had a reason, every smile had a ghost.
And I kept showing up, not because I’m blind —
But because I saw the real you behind the closed blinds.
(Final Chorus)
I knew… and I stayed.
Through every storm, through every ache.
Even when your love was distant,
Even when my heart would break.
You didn’t have to say a thing —
I still heard what you couldn’t say.
And I loved you not in spite of it…
I loved you all the way.
