I knew exactly, I knew exactly what this would feel like 
I knew this day was coming, I knew it right from the start 

I could see it in your eyes, but I just didn't care 
I knew the days were numbered, but I fell anyway 

I knew exactly, I knew exactly what you would be to me 
A scar on the horizon, a perfect dim illusory light 

And I held it in my hands to protect it from the wind 
But the more I held on, I knew I'd lose it again 

You blew in like a breeze and rolled out like a storm 
I know you didn't think it'd do any harm 

I knew exactly, I knew exactly what this would feel like 
To hear the same voice that said 'hello' say 'goodbye'
