[Verso 1 – piano suave + pads emocionales]
You said you were over her when you met me,
But her name was written on every word you’d speak.
I tried to be enough, tried to fill her ghost,
But loving you always felt like chasing someone close.
---
[Pre-Coro – cuerdas sutiles subiendo]
You swore I was different, said she’s in the past,
But you still compare me like I’ll ever match.
---
[Coro – beat suave + voces en capas]
I should’ve known better —
Falling for someone still chasing goodbye.
You held me close, but she was always inside.
I break, you watch — you call it love,
But I call it standing in her shadow.
I should’ve known better —
You never really made me first.
---
[Verso 2 – guitarra suave + percusión ligera]
Every date felt like a test I couldn’t pass,
Every smile, every fight — her name came back.
You said I’m too sensitive when I’d break down,
But how do you love me while she's still around?
---
[Pre-Coro – más íntimo]
I stayed hoping someday you'd let her go,
But you loved her longer than you let me know.
---
[Coro – más emocional]
I should’ve known better —
Falling for someone still chasing goodbye.
You held me close, but she was always inside.
I break, you watch — you call it love,
But I call it standing in her shadow.
I should’ve known better —
You never really made me first.
---
[Puente – sólo piano + voz]
Now I see the truth behind your empty eyes,
You never chose me — I was just passing time.
[Último coro – todo instrumental, cuerdas altas, beat suave]
I should’ve known better —
Falling for someone still chasing goodbye.
You held me close, but she was always inside.
I break, you watch — you call it love,
But I call it standing in her shadow.
I should’ve known better —
You never really made me first.
