(Verse 1) [Male Vocals] The sky was heavy, holding back the rain You said the summer wouldn't end in pain We left the porch light on to keep the dark away And pretended every promise was here to stay I watched the shadow stretch across the room And felt the sudden shifting of the room (Chorus) I knew it would, I knew it would fall apart The quiet truth was beating in my heart You swore the tide would never turn so fast That something built this fragile ought to last I tried to doubt the feeling in my chest Hoping for the answer that was best But when the final piece began to yield I knew it would—the fate was sealed (Verse 2) [Female Vocals] The letters on the table start to fade We're sitting in the middle of the choice we made No harsh words spoken, no sudden scream Just the slow unraveling of a golden dream I saw the distance growing in your eyes Beneath the pale and empty morning skies (Chorus) I knew it would, I knew it would fall apart The quiet truth was beating in my heart You swore the tide would never turn so fast That something built this fragile ought to last I tried to doubt the feeling in my chest Hoping for the answer that was best But when the final piece began to yield I knew it would—the fate was sealed (Bridge) [Male and Female Vocals] It wasn't a surprise, it was a slow pull The glass was slipping while we called it full No point in asking where we both went wrong We were just singing out a finished song (Outro) Yeah, I knew it would... The leaves would drop, the cold would settle in Right back to where we both begin I knew it would.
