Story Behind The Song
This song is about a long time love, of circumstances that prevented us from being together and the continued emotionial ties that bind us. It's a song about moving past those feelings and starting anew.
Song Description
Many have said this sounds like a title track to a movie. It's a story of letting go and starting over. The question "How will my heart ever know" is followed by a dual edged statement of "I'm getting over you". It's a song about a crossroads......leaving something sweet, poignant and helpless behind and moving on the the next stage in one's life.

Lyrics
HOW WILL I KNOW?
How will I know? When will it be the truth?
Can?t let you go?..can?t get close to you?
Should I leave this place? Will I still see your face?
Tell me?how will my heart ever know I?m getting over you?
Unspoken words?or just a mystery?
Is what I heard what your heart said to me?
Was it all a lie? Or just a sad goodbye?
Tell me?.how will my heart ever know I?m getting over you?
Dark silence fills up my nights
In dreams?.I hold you tight?.
My aching heart is too sad to bear?
?Cause you?re not there??you?re not there?..
When did it end? Where was I on that day?
When my best friend simply walked away?.
I try to leave this place?but I still see your face?
Tell me, how will my heart ever know I?m getting over you?
Dark silence fills up my nights
In dreams?.I hold you tight?.
My breaking heart is too sad to bear?
?Cause you?re not there??you?re not there?..
When did it end? Where was I on that day?
When my best friend simply walked away?.
Should I leave this place? Will I still see your face?
Tell me?how will my heart ever know I?m getting over you?
How will my heart ever know??.. I?m getting over you?
