(Yeah)
(Just the truth)
(Sometimes the heart knows before the mouth speaks)
(Listen)
I saw the messages light up your phone,
Saw the name I didn't know.
I didn't say nothing, I just watched you smile,
A smile that wasn't for me for a while.
I wanted to be angry, wanted to shout,
But love doesn't heal by calling you out.
So I sat with the ache, let the truth sink in,
Trying to love you through the pain I'm in.
Yeah, I'm just breathing through the static.
I know, girl, I know,
About him, and I didn't let it show.
Not to trap you, not to make you cry,
Just because I needed time to say goodbye.
I love you so much, that's why this hurts,
I gave you my all, you gave what was left.
I know, and my heart is breaking slow,
I know, girl, I know.
I'm not here to judge who you are,
You're still the light, you're still my star.
But love can't live where it has to hide,
And I can't love you while sharing your side.
You didn't tell me, maybe you were scared,
Or maybe the depth of us, you never really cared.
It's a bitter pill, watch the ice melt down,
I'm the king of the silence, wearing a hollow crown.
I know, girl, I know,
About him, and I didn't let it show.
Not to trap you, not to make you cry,
Just because I needed time to say goodbye.
I love you so much, that's why this hurts,
I gave you my all, you gave what was left.
I know, and my heart is breaking slow,
I know, girl, I know.
I ain't looking for no apology, no scene,
Just trying to wake up from this waking dream.
The shadow on the wall, it tells the tale,
I'm catching the wind but I lost the sail.
It's okay, I forgive the way you chose,
Just keep it moving, that’s how it goes.
I know, girl, I know,
About him, and I didn't let it show.
Not to trap you, not to make you cry,
Just because I needed time to say goodbye.
I love you so much, that's why this hurts,
I gave you my all, you gave what was left.
I know, and my heart is breaking slow,
I know, girl, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Breaking slow.
Let it go.
I know.
(Fading out)
Just the truth.
