Read the Song Lyrics
Some days are easier to fake it
I find it hard to think when you’re brought up
I know it takes a heart to break it
But you took that and some more when you gave up
Snoh Aalegra describes the struggle of moving on. Some days, pretending to be okay is easier, but the moment they come to mind, everything feels heavy again. She understands that heartbreak is a part of love, but the way they walked away left wounds deeper than just a broken heart.
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
Some things don’t work and that’s the way love goes
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
It’s over now, but time will tell
She’s trying to accept reality. Some relationships don’t last, and that’s just how it is. But even as she says she understands, there’s still uncertainty—maybe she’s telling herself this to cope, or maybe time will show her something she can’t see right now.
If you seek, you will find
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise, in your eyes
Looking back, she wonders if the truth was always right there. Maybe love was present all along, hidden in unspoken moments or overlooked in the way they looked at each other. She’s questioning what she missed and whether she mistook something for love or failed to recognize it when it was real.
There in your eyes
There in your eyes
She keeps returning to this idea, as if searching for answers in the memory of their gaze. Was it love? Was it something else? Either way, it was always there, waiting to be understood.
I needed you, but you went missing
Told me you’d change, but you kept losing touch
And some things I wouldn’t even mention
Just know I don’t need your attention, no
She reflects on the promises they made. They said they would change, but instead, they kept drifting further away. There are things she could bring up, things that hurt, but she chooses not to. She doesn’t need them to notice her anymore.
If you seek, you will find
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise, in your eyes
She circles back to that lingering thought—maybe the truth of their relationship was always clear. Whether she misread it or finally understands it now, she can’t ignore what was in front of her all along.
