Had to Know Lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

Brighten

2021

[Verse 1]
Tonight I spilled myself on the floor, oh-ayy
Admire the way you clawed through the door, oh-ayy
Remember the precious look on your face
You measured the dose, acquired the taste
[Chorus]
Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for
'Cause you really had to know
[Verse 2]
Tonight I left you with so much unsaid, oh-ayy
You brokered a deal alone in the bed, oh-ayy
It's no surprise, I've been here before
You're not the first to be one morе
[Chorus]
Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for
'Causе you really had to know
[Post-Chorus]
Had to know
Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall
Had to know
[Chorus]
Keep on trying, questions firing
More than you bargained for (Bargained for)
Keep on trying, questions firing
Block your way through the door (Block your way through the door)
Keep on trying, questions firing
Spill myself on the floor (Spill myself on the floor)
'Cause you really had to know
[Post-Chorus]
Had to know
Had to know
We stand above a place to fall
We stand above a place to fall
