[Intro] When would you wanna know? [Verse 1 ] There's a name you've never heard of Somewhere underneath it all Maybe knowing changes nothing Maybe knowing changes it all He still makes coffee in the morning Still forgets to lock the door Nothing happened in the kitchen But somehow it looks different than before [Pre-Chorus] If it happened once And ended there Would you wanna know? If it's still going on But they're coming home Would you wanna know? [Chorus ] When would you wanna know? When would you wanna know? When it's once? When it's twice? When it's half your fucking life? When would you wanna know? When they're late? When they lie? When you look them in the eye? When would you wanna know? Would you wanna know? [Verse 2 ] Maybe it was only once Maybe they never went back Maybe every day that followed Was exactly what you thought you had The birthdays weren't pretending The laughter wasn't fake If twenty years were happy What would knowing take away? [Pre-Chorus] If it happened once And ended there Would you wanna know? [Chorus] When would you wanna know? When would you wanna know? When it's once? When it's twice? When it's half your fucking life? When would you wanna know? When they're late? When they lie? When you look them in the eye? When would you wanna know? Would you wanna know? [Verse 3] But what if it wasn't once? What if they still go back? What if every day that follows Isn't quite what you think you have? You still say, "I trust you" And they still say, "I know" You keep planning out your future With someone you don't know Would you wanna know now? [Bridge] You can choose not to ask You can choose to let it go But is it still your choice When you're the only one who doesn't know? [Final Chorus] Some people wouldn't wanna know Some would need you to tell them Some people would rather keep The life they have Some would walk away When the one who should tell you won't And no one knows if you'd wanna know Who decides what to do With a truth that belongs to you? [Outro] When would you wanna know?
