Now I Know

Eric Henry Andersen 

What a drug is love, a cruel and wicked myth 

It hooks you in takes hold, then it leaves you on a whim 

Now we’re left here wondering what we could’ve been 

But it’s over now love, well it’s over now

I knew I had to take this leap to live my truth to give us peace 

to let it go our love 

And although I know that I couldn’t have stayed I’m living in hell for walking away

But I’ll keep trying to find my grace

But I didn’t know how much I’d miss you ‘til I rolled over to kiss you and you were gone 

And I didn’t know how much it’d cut me just to see you finding love in another’s arms 

What a drug is love the vessel of deceit 

In your absence (here without you) now ruminate, despair, repeat

At least we lived each season, longing, torture, bliss

But it’s over now love, yeah it’s over now 

I knew I had to take this leap to live my truth to give us peace 

to let it go our love 

Cause I didn’t know how much I’d miss you until I rolled over to kiss you and you were gone ( yeah you were gone)

And I didn’t know how much it’d cut me just to see you finding love in another’s arms (in another’s arms)

I thought the only think I’d feel for you was happy well, I was wrong (yeah I was wrong)

I beg the universe for mercy, I submit

Were we always destined for this empty reckoning?

Cause I didn’t know how much I’d miss you until I rolled over to kiss you and you were gone 

And I didn’t know how much it’d cut me just to see you finding love in another’s arms (in another’s arms)

I thought the only think I’d feel for you was happy well, I was wrong (yeah I was wrong)

You you used to tell me you were lonely and I could not relate, I’m sorry, now I know, now I know

I’m lonely and I know

Now I know
