[Verse 1] Dear me, you knew your silence would hurt me you knew your distance would change everything we had, and still you chose it anyway that was the part I couldn't outrun I kept trying to understand you to excuse you to soften the blade I called it confusion I called it timing I called it anything but what it was [Pre-Chorus] Then it hit me clear as day understanding doesn't clean it away you saw the effect and kept on going and that truth cut harder than the fight [Chorus] You knew, you knew it was never a mistake You knew, you knew and my heart still breaks I stopped blaming me for staying too long I stopped blaming me when I heard it all along [Verse 2] It wasn't the pain that broke me open it was the knowing behind your eyes some hurts don't come from confusion some hurts are chosen and dressed as a lie I wanted mercy I wanted reasons I wanted one thing that made it make sense but some doors close because someone locks them and peace begins when you name the fence [Pre-Chorus] Then it hit me clear as day understanding doesn't clean it away you saw the effect and kept on going and that truth cut harder than the fight [Chorus] You knew, you knew it was never a mistake You knew, you knew and my heart still breaks I stopped blaming me for staying too long I stopped blaming me when I heard it all along [Bridge] So I let it be true I let it be yours I laid down the part that kept opening doors not every wound needs my forgiveness not every ending needs my fault [Final Chorus] You knew, you knew it was never a mistake You knew, you knew and my heart still breaks I stopped blaming me for staying too long I stopped blaming me when I heard it all along You knew, you knew and I let you go You knew, you knew now I finally know
