I Didn't Know

Intro

You sat right next to me.

And I didn’t know.

Verse 1

You made coffee in my kitchen

Slept beside me every night

Held my hand in public

Said everything was fine

You talked about the future

You said you needed space

You told me you were tired

I believed every word you gave

Pre-Chorus

I thought I knew your breathing

I thought I knew your face

Chorus

But I didn’t know

What you were hiding

I didn’t know

What you kept locked away

I didn’t know

Who else you were

When you walked out my door

You looked like love

You sounded safe

And I didn’t know

Verse 2

You said your phone was broken

You said work kept you late

You said you were helping family

You said it with a straight face

You told me I was overthinking

You told me not to worry

Meanwhile you were living

A whole other story

Pre-Chorus

You let me build a life

On half the truth

Chorus

And I didn’t know

What you were hiding

I didn’t know

What you were capable of

I didn’t know

The secrets you carried

While you slept in my bed

You looked like love

You sounded safe

And I didn’t know

Bridge

You don’t get to take my peace

Just because you lied

You don’t get to stay in my head

After what you did outside

Chorus

I didn’t know

But now I see

I didn’t know

But you don’t live in me

You don’t get my home

You don’t get my kids

You don’t get another day

You kept your secrets

I keep my strength

Outro

You sat right next to me.

And I didn’t know.
