(Whispered vocal)
"You already know… don’t you?"
[Soft Vocals, Clean Guitar Arpeggios + Ambient Pads]
I found your perfume on my sleeve
Your silence louder than you mean
You're drifting like a closing scene
Still smiling like it’s evergreen
I see the texts you never meant
The love you fake, the time you spent
But I just nod and play the part
‘Cause I’m too scared to fall apart
You lie like it’s rehearsed
And I take it like a curse
My heart screams the worst
But my face forgets it first
(Sung, soaring with harmonies)
But I guess I didn’t know, did I?
Just a shadow clinging to your dream
You’re burning bridges in your eyes
While I pretend that it’s just steam
You love him when I sleep
And I still hold you like you need me
Yeah, I guess I didn’t know
Even when you stopped loving me
(Rap)
Yeah…
I see you leave with your phone on mute
Same excuse, different route, same suit
Lyin’ eyes don’t match your truth
But I swallow down what I can’t refute
Every night I replay the scene
You're not just gone—you’re just unseen
Still I act like I’m naive
Like love’s not something you’ve ceased to believe
(Sung, soaring with harmonies)
But I guess I didn’t know, did I?
Guess the fool’s the one who stays
With a heart that breaks in silence
Every time you look away
You love him when I bleed
And I just smile through the seams
Yeah, I guess I didn’t know
Even when you stopped needing me
(Low vocal, spoken/half-sung)
I pour the wine, dim the lights
You text him in the candlelight
And I just toast to what we were
While you become someone I don’t recognize
(Screaming vocal)
"I KNOW! I KNOW! But I CAN’T LET GO!"
(Sung with emotional break in the voice)
So I guess I didn’t know, did I?
I wear your lies like second skin
Even though the truth is killing me
I’d rather lose than let you win
I smile like it’s alright
But I’m dying underneath
Yeah, I guess I didn’t know—
But I do… and I still won’t leave
(Soft falsetto)
No, I won’t leave…
Fools like me…
We make believe.
