When You Know You Know

[Verse 1]
You said it like a passing thought
with a tight smile half-way out the door
the rain was brushing at the window
your keys ready in your hand

I asked if you were coming back
you laughed like you didn’t hear the question
the kind of laugh that stings a little—
almost warm almost gone

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe it was nothing
or maybe it was everything
funny how the quiet
tells the truth first

[Chorus]
When you know you know—
it hits you slow
like a long breath you didn’t take
like the space between
what you said and what you meant
when you know you know—
and I knew the second
you looked at the floor
instead of me

[Verse 2]
I replay your footsteps down the hallway
every step a softer version of yourself
you always left with a kind of carefulness
as if breaking something delicate—

As if you knew I was the delicate thing
I sat with the quiet after
hands wrapped around my own ribs
trying to hold what was slipping

[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t have to say it
people rarely do
the truth always arrives
before the mouth catches up

[Chorus]
When you know you know—
the body feels it first
the heart gets it late
and the mind pretends
it’s all misunderstanding
when you know you know—
and I knew the night
your goodbye sounded
too practiced

[Bridge]
I keep thinking maybe I dreamt it—
the way your eyes softened
right before you let go
love is funny like that
it lingers even after
the people don’t

[Final Chorus]
When you know you know—
the truth sits small
but heavy in the chest
you don’t have to explain it
I already heard it
in the spaces you left
when you know you know—
and I know now
even if you couldn’t say it
