Wish I had Known

[Intro] (I remember... how it started...) Yeah... let me tell it my way [Verse 1 — Male] Met her at the bar where the low light hit her right Somethin' in her smile like the start of a whole new life Talked till closing, walked out into the cold Felt like I already knew the story that was told Never asked the questions that I probably should've asked Got so caught up in the moment, didn't think about the past She had a way of makin' silence feel like poetry I ain't know what she was runnin' from, or keepin' secretly [Pre-Chorus — Female] (I was runnin' from a life that felt like glass) (Wanted just one night that I could feel I'd last) Didn't mean to let it carry on so far Just wanted somethin' real beneath the stars [Hook] Didn't know the ring was hidin' in her purse Didn't know we'd feel this way, for the worse Chasin' somethin' beautiful and new Chasin' somethin' I thought I outgrew Now we're sittin' with the weight of what we did Wishin' we had known before we started this [Verse 2 — Male] Found the picture on her phone, wasn't lookin' for it, no Saw a wedding date, a ring, another name I didn't know She said it wasn't what it looked like, said it's complicated I just sat there in the silence like the truth had been delayed Everything we built up came crashin' to the ground I ain't innocent in this, I know I played my part somehow [Verse 2 — Female] I didn't mean to let it go as far as it went Just wanted to remember who I was before I was spent On a life I chose too young, in a house that felt like glass Not askin' you to fix me, just needed somethin' to last [Hook] Didn't know the ring was hidin' in her purse Didn't know we'd feel this way, for the worse Chasin' somethin' beautiful and new Chasin' somethin' I thought I outgrew Now we're sittin' with the weight of what we did Wishin' we had known before we started this [Bridge] (I'm not the villain that you made me out to be...) (Just wanted one more thing that felt un-staged...) I ain't lookin' for a way to make it right Just needed one more honest night [Final Hook] Didn't know the ring was hidin' in her purse (whispered: hidin' in her purse) Didn't know we'd feel this way, for the worse (whispered: for the worse) Chasin' somethin' beautiful and new Chasin' somethin' I thought I outgrew Now we're sittin' with the weight of what we did Wishin' we had known before we started this [Outro] (Wish I had stayed away...) Wish I had known...
