About This Track
"Now I Know" is a tender, emotionally driven acoustic duet that explores the profound lessons learned from love and loss. With a slow to moderate tempo, the track is delicately woven together using a palette of acoustic guitar, soft piano, and subtle string arrangements, creating an intimate, reflective atmosphere.
The addition of heartbeat-like drums lends a quiet urgency—like the pulse of emotion that runs beneath the lyrics—while the male and female vocal interplay brings depth and contrast, highlighting two perspectives of a shared emotional journey. Their harmonies are raw and vulnerable, evolving from restrained tension to cathartic release as the song progresses.
Stylistically, it sits comfortably in the realm of emotional acoustic ballads, ideal for quiet reflection, late-night listening, or storytelling performances. The production is minimal yet powerful, allowing the lyrics to take center stage while the instrumentation gently supports the emotional weight of each line.
This is a song about realization—about what love truly means beyond the butterflies and promises. It's honest, aching, and ultimately wise.

Lyrics
Intro
I used to think love meant forever,
That forever meant no end.
But time has taught me gently
That even truths sometimes pretend...
Verse 1
You once called me your always,
Like a promise carved in stone.
But even stones can weather
When they're left too long alone.
Pre-Chorus
We were fire without direction,
We were stars that burned too fast...
Chorus
Now I know love needs more than feeling,
More than words you softly say,
It’s the tending and the choosing
Every hour of every day.
It’s the silence that still listens,
It’s the space that learns to grow—
We knew how to fall in love,
But now I know...
Verse 2
You needed truth, I gave you poems,
You asked for presence, I gave dreams.
I thought my love was endless,
But I ignored what loving means...
Verse 3
I wanted more than magic moments,
More than sparks that fade too soon.
But we danced inside the twilight,
And forgot to chase the moon...
Pre-Chorus
Love is not just sweet beginnings,
It’s the staying through the storm...
Chorus
Now I know love means understanding,
Even when the words fall short,
It’s forgiveness in the shadows,
Not just passion in the court.
It’s the courage to be honest,
Even when it hurts to show—
We knew how to hold each other,
But now I know...
Bridge
Love’s not perfect, love’s not easy...
Love is learning when to bend...
It's the choice to walk beside someone,
Not the dream that never ends...
Final Chorus
Now I know love is in the growing,
In the letting and the stay,
In the mornings after heartache
When you show up anyway.
It’s in quiet, patient presence,
In the truth you let them show—
We thought we knew what love was,
But now… now I know.
Outro
Now I know...
And I’m grateful for the lesson...
I used to think love meant forever,
That forever meant no end.
But time has taught me gently
That even truths sometimes pretend...
Verse 1
You once called me your always,
Like a promise carved in stone.
But even stones can weather
When they're left too long alone.
