Lyrics
[Verse 1 — low pulse, close-mic alto]
You tell the story backward now
Like every ending left a sign
Like I was standing at the start
Already knowing where we’d wind
We made the call, we chose the road
Nobody saw beyond the bend
But now you hand me what came after
Say I should’ve known the end
[Pre-Chorus — drums tighten, guitar rising]
It’s easy from the wreckage
To point back at the flame
Easy when you know the ending
To rewrite who to blame
[Chorus — guitars open wide, stacked low harmonies]
Hindsight makes a liar
Out of everything we knew
Turns a choice we made together
Into something I did to you
Don’t hand me tomorrow
And swear I held it yesterday
I won’t carry your prediction
Just because it went this way
You can tell me I was wrong
But don’t tell me I knew
Hindsight makes a liar
And I won’t let it make me one too
[Verse 2 — restrained, harder edge]
Now every word I didn’t measure
Every warning never said
Becomes a thing I should’ve noticed
Like the ending had been read
You blame me for the words unsaid
For lines you never let me see
Expect me living in your head
Then fault me when I disagree
[Pre-Chorus — building pressure]
It’s easy from the wreckage
To swear the smoke was clear
Easy after everything
To say I brought us here
[Chorus — fuller, defiant]
Hindsight makes a liar
Out of everything we knew
Turns a choice we made together
Into something I did to you
Don’t hand me tomorrow
And swear I held it yesterday
I won’t carry your prediction
Just because it went this way
You can tell me I was wrong
But don’t tell me I knew
Hindsight makes a liar
And I won’t let it make me one too
[Bridge — instruments drop, vocal nearly bare]
I’ll own the hand I played
I’ll own the choice I made
I’ll own the things I said
And every debt that’s mine
[beat enters]
But I won’t own your silence
I won’t confess to signs
That only became obvious
Once we crossed the line
[Final Chorus — full band, controlled fury]
Hindsight makes a liar
When you bend the past in two
Take a choice we made together
And swear it belonged to me, not you
Don’t hand me tomorrow
Like I hid it yesterday
I was standing where you stood
When we chose to go this way
I will carry what is mine
But I won’t carry you
Hindsight makes a liar
I won’t make your version true
[Outro — band cuts to low guitar pulse]
I didn’t know the ending
Neither did you.
