[Verse 1]
I saw your eyes when I walked in the room
You didn’t smile like you used to do
I felt the cold, yeah, I knew it was real
Guess the truth has a way to reveal
[Pre-Chorus]
I said some things, I can't take 'em back
I crossed a line, now I'm facing the facts
But I’m here now, tryna make it right
Won’t let us fade into the night
[Chorus]
How long did you know?
That I was slipping, losing control
How long did you see
The signs that you were losing me?
I was blind, now I see it all
Took the fall, now I’m standing tall
But tell me, baby, before you go...
How long did you know?
[Verse 2]
I played it cool, but I knew I was wrong
Now every silence feels way too long
I hear your voice in the back of my mind
Saying, “You should’ve known, don’t waste my time”
[Pre-Chorus]
I broke the trust, I can feel the sting
But I’ll do anything, give back your ring
Just one more chance, don’t shut the door
I’m not that guy I was before
[Chorus]
How long did you know?
That I was slipping, losing control
How long did you see
The signs that you were losing me?
I was blind, now I see it all
Took the fall, now I’m standing tall
But tell me, baby, before you go...
How long did you know?
[Solo]
(The melody blends smooth synths with a strong bass line)
[Bridge]
Was it the way I stayed out late?
Or how I started acting strange?
If I could turn back time somehow
I’d be the man you needed now
[Final Chorus]
How long did you know?
Before your heart let me go
How long did you see
The cracks forming underneath?
I was blind, now I see it all
Took the fall, now I’m standing tall
But tell me, baby, before you go...
How long did you know?
