VERSE 1 I bet it was difficult To love someone who couldn’t think through You had reasons to leave, but you stayed and gave me time I was loud with things that didn’t matter Quiet with my care Took your patience like it was endless Never thought you’d go, or dare ⸻ CHORUS My eyes are open now There’s nothing I can fix right now I wish I knew myself better So I could love you like you deserved Yeah now I know, now I know I know it hurts to say it out loud I wish I knew myself better I wish I could’ve done better ⸻ POST-CHORUS Now I know Yeah, now I know Too late, but clear Yeah, now I know ⸻ VERSE 2 I replay the careless sentences The selfish ways I chose my side All the love you handed freely I just called it normal life I didn’t thank you for the effort Or the weight you carried home I thought love would wait forever Didn’t know I’d end alone ⸻ CHORUS My eyes are open now There’s nothing I can fix right now I wish I knew myself better So I could love you like you deserved Yeah now I know, now I know I know it hurts to say it out loud I wish I knew myself better I wish I could’ve done better ⸻ POST-CHORUS Now I know Yeah, now I know Missed the moment But now I know ⸻ BRIDGE Thank you for the quiet mornings The attention, the gentle touch For the kisses I didn’t earn For the patience, for the love I was lost when you walked away Didn’t see what was falling apart Only learned your value After you took your heart ⸻ CHORUS My eyes are open now There’s nothing I can change right now I wish I knew myself better So I could love you like you deserved Yeah now I know, now I know I know it hurts to say it out loud I wish I knew myself better I wish I could’ve done better ⸻ POST-CHORUS Now I know Yeah, now I know Too late, but honest Yeah, now I know ⸻ VERSE 3 (OUTRO) Some lessons come with silence Some love you learn too late
