[Verse 1] He left like a thief in the middle of the night, No warning, no goodbye, no final fight. One day his hands were holding mine, Next day—nothing but an empty line. I never saw the ending coming, Never heard the wheels start running, He cut the thread without a sound, And left my heart there on the ground. So I followed the smoke through the carnival lights, Past broken mirrors and velvet nights. A woman in red with a silver eye Was turning the cards underneath the sky. [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Tell me, woman, what did I do? Why did he vanish like morning dew? Was I a fool to believe his eyes? Why did he leave without one goodbye?” She smiled like she already knew… [Chorus] “Oh, darling, the gypsy knows, What the moon refuses to show. Some men are storms that come and go, Some hearts are doors you outgrow. He didn’t leave because you weren’t enough, He left because he couldn’t carry your love. You thought he was the end of your road, But, darling… the gypsy knows.” [Verse 2] She spread three cards on the crimson cloth, One for the wound, one for what was lost. The first was a rose with a thorn in its side, The second was a moon with a river of light. Then she turned the last card slowly around— A golden ring, but no man was found. I whispered, “Does this mean he’ll return?” She said, “Some bridges are only meant to burn.” [Pre-Chorus] I asked, “Will he regret the way he disappeared? Will he remember the love we had here? Will he come knocking when I’m finally free?” She looked in my eyes and said to me… [Chorus] “Oh, darling, the gypsy knows, What the moon refuses to show. He may come back when the wild wind blows, But you’ll be somewhere he doesn’t know. You won’t be waiting beside that door, You won’t be the woman you were before. You thought he was the end of your road, But, darling… the gypsy knows.” [Bridge — whispered / cinematic] “There is a man you haven’t met, There is a kiss you won’t forget. There is a life beyond this pain, There is a sunrise after rain. And one night beneath another moon, Someone will love you without leaving too soon. He won’t make you beg to be chosen… He’ll know your heart before it’s spoken.” The carnival lights began to fade, The cards disappeared beneath her hands. I turned around to ask her name— But there was no one there. Only the sound of bells And my own footsteps Walking away. [Final Chorus] Oh, darling, the gypsy knows, Some endings are doors in disguise. The man who broke you had to go, So another love could arrive. Let him wonder where you went, Let him live with his regret. You were never meant to chase a ghost, You were meant to become the woman he lost. And when the next moon starts to glow, You’ll finally understand what she knows… You didn’t lose the love of your life. You lost the love that wasn’t meant to stay. [Outro] And somewhere beyond the carnival lights, The gypsy shuffles her cards tonight… “The future isn’t behind you, child…” “The future is waiting for you.”
