When You Know You Know
Embracing Closure: When You Know
Lyrics
Don't know what got into me
Expressing uncertainty about recent behavior or emotions
It swept over like a wave
Describing a sudden and overwhelming experience
Pulled me under into the deep
Being pulled into a challenging or profound situation
Nothing left to save
Acknowledging a situation where there's nothing left to salvage
You threw a lifeline and I took my time trying to swim ashore
Receiving help, but hesitating to take full advantage
Helping me is hurting you, I can't let you do that anymore
Recognizing that accepting help may harm the helper
When you know you know
Stating the certainty of knowing a crucial truth
It's easy to say, But you have to let me go
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go
When you know you know
Reiterating the inevitability of recognizing a truth
To walk away is the only way to go
Emphasizing the necessity of moving on
To leave it all behind
Highlighting the need to abandon the past
And to clear your mind
Emphasizing the importance of mental clarity
Cause what you have you can't hold
Stating the inability to possess certain things
When you know you know
Repeating the certainty of recognizing a significant truth
There's no turning round from here
Indicating an irreversible point in a journey
We've come too far to take it back
Acknowledging the impossibility of reversing progress
I know you don't wanna hear
Acknowledging the reluctance to accept a farewell
Goodbye but it's come to that
Expressing the inevitability of saying goodbye
If you can't say it, then I'll say it
Offering to verbalize a difficult truth if necessary
'cause it's time to move on
Recognizing the need for change and progression
I know you need it so I'll be the one to be gone
Volunteering to be the one to initiate the departure
When you know you know
Reiterating the certainty of knowing a crucial truth
It's easy to say, But you have to let me go
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go (repeated)
When you know you know
Reiterating the inevitability of recognizing a truth (repeated)
To walk away is the only way to go
Emphasizing the necessity of moving on (repeated)
To leave it all behind
Highlighting the need to abandon the past (repeated)
And to clear your mind
Emphasizing the importance of mental clarity (repeated)
Cause what you have you can't hold
Stating the inability to possess certain things (repeated)
When you know you know
Repeating the certainty of recognizing a significant truth (repeated)
If I knew then what I know now
Reflecting on the possibility of offering more in the past
I could've given you so much more
Expressing regret for not providing more previously
Just know you're not running away
Assuring that leaving is not escaping, but moving towards something better
Its something better you're running towards
Stating that the departure is a positive and purposeful choice
When you know you know
Reiterating the certainty of knowing a crucial truth
It's easy to say, But you have to let me go
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go (repeated)
When you know you know
Reiterating the inevitability of recognizing a truth (repeated)
To walk away is the only way to go
Emphasizing the necessity of moving on (repeated)
To leave it all behind
Highlighting the need to abandon the past (repeated)
And to clear your mind
Emphasizing the importance of mental clarity (repeated)
Cause what you have you can't hold
Stating the inability to possess certain things (repeated)
When you know you know
Repeating the certainty of recognizing a significant truth (repeated)
When you know you know
Reiterating the certainty of knowing a crucial truth (repeated)
When you know you know
Concluding with a final affirmation of recognizing a significant truth
