Verse 1 She’s standing at the counter pouring cheap red wine While he’s talking ‘bout his day like everything’s fine He kisses her cheek, says “baby, I’m home” She just nods her head like she ain’t alone He don’t see the storm behind her eyes Or the way she’s holding back tonight He thinks it’s just another Friday glow He don’t know she knows ⸻ Verse 2 It was two in the morning when she crossed that line Scrolling through a truth she couldn’t deny “Baby I love you” lighting up that screen But it wasn’t her name in between He’s been taking her out, been playing that role Even introduced her to his little boy Now she’s sitting here in a house half broke He don’t know she knows ⸻ Chorus He don’t know she knows every word, every lie Every “I miss you” sent in the middle of the night Don’t know she saw how deep it goes Yeah, he’s living a life she wasn’t supposed to know He still says “I love you,” still holding her close While she’s dying a little but nobody knows She’s keeping it calm, playing it slow He don’t know she knows ⸻ Verse 3 That other girl thinks she’s the only one Doesn’t know where he’s coming from Doesn’t know about the bed he’s in Or the girl right here he’s lying to again She almost laughed, said “you got someone new?” He laughed it off like it wasn’t true And she let it go like she don’t already know He don’t know she knows ⸻ Chorus He don’t know she knows every plan, every move Every dinner date and every excuse Two, three months of playing both sides And he’s still looking her straight in the eyes He still says “I love you,” like it’s the truth While she’s stuck deciding what she’s gonna do She’s holding it in, letting it grow He don’t know she knows ⸻ Bridge If she says it out loud, it all burns down If she calls that girl, it comes back around So she’s biting her tongue, playing her part While he’s slowly breaking her heart ⸻ Breakdown (soft) She lays beside him, staring at the wall… Knowing everything… saying nothing at all… ⸻ Final Chorus He don’t know she knows, but he’s gonna find out When she walks away without a sound No screaming, no scene, no slammed doors Just a silence he ain’t heard before He’ll say “I love you” and reach for her side But she won’t be there this time And that’s how it goes… When he don’t know she knows
