[Verse 1] I kept your coat by the door Like you might walk back in Your keys still on the tray Next to the half-burned paper I said I moved on clean But I still read your name In the crack of the screen And the frame on the wall [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the small things stay Long after the words fade I act like I’m fine, but baby Some nights I still wait [Chorus] You never know, you never know (you never know) Who’s still holding on You never know, you never know (you never know) Till the love is gone I said I’m good, I said I’m free But your shadow stays with me You never know, you never know [Verse 2] I took the long way home Past the store where we laughed Saw two red paper cups On the hood of a truck And I almost called your phone Just to hear you say my name Then I put it back down Like I do every time [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the small things stay Long after the words fade I act like I’m fine, but baby Some nights I still wait [Chorus] You never know, you never know (you never know) Who’s still holding on You never know, you never know (you never know) Till the love is gone I said I’m good, I said I’m free But your shadow stays with me You never know, you never know [Bridge] Maybe that’s the truth We learn it way too late What looked like goodbye Was only one more ache If you came back now Would I even be strong? Or would I let it happen Like nothing went wrong [Final Chorus] You never know, you never know (you never know) Who’s still holding on You never know, you never know (you never know) Till the love is gone I said I’m good, I said I’m free But your shadow stays with me You never know, you never know (you never know)
