Verse 1
Knowing things,
You don’t want to know.
Can send a heart,
back and low.
You brace yourself,
You hold your ground.
But truth has weight,
When it comes around.
Chorus
Block them out,
Pretend not to see.
Tell yourself,
You’re still free.
But what is this
In front of me?
A truth that don’t
Set nobody free.
Verse 2
The eyes can be blind,
Wide open still.
You call it peace,
But it’s stubborn will.
To look away,
To let it slide,
And keep the knowing
Locked inside.
Bridge
There’s an empty space,
Between you and me.
Not loud, not broken
Just quietly.
Where love once stood,
Something went cold.
That’s the price,
Of truth untold.
Final Chorus
Block them out,
Pretend not to see.
Say it’s nothing,
Let it be.
But what is this
In front of me?
The truth standing,
Face to face with me
Outro
Knowing things,
You don’t want to know.
Is how the heart
Learns when to go.
