American Songs - Before I Knew Better lyrics
rate meNo one thought that I'd jump off that rocky ledge
So I did
And I broke my leg
And I let Jim Beam tell me I could take some guy
Twice my size
But old Jim lied
I can't pretend that I ain't been my life's own recking crew
And I'm surprised that I survived all I put myself through
Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I did a whole lot of crazy foolish things
I'm not proud of
It was just like me
To risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure
Before I knew better
You were the first to ever make me wanna change
My reckless ways
And I almost did
Somehow I lost track and wound up givin' in
To the late night light
And the good time friends
You swore to me one day you'd leave
And all I had to say
Was 'there's the door, what ya waitin' for
And who needs you anyway'
Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I said a whole lot of crazy foolish things
I'm not proud of
It was just like me
To risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure
Before I knew better
Girl I pray somehow someway
We can turn this thing around
I thought your love was something
I could live without
Before I knew
Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I said a whole lot of crazy foolish things
I'm not proud of
It was just like me
To risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure
Before I knew better
Before I knew better
Before I knew better
Before I knew better
