Before I Knew Better Lyrics

(B. Simpson/D. Lee)

 

 No 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 aint been my life's own wrecking crew

 And I'm surprised that I've survived all I put myself through

 

 Before I knew better

 Before I woke up

 I did a whole lotta 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

 But somehow I lost track and wound up giving in

 To the late night life 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 you waiting for 

 And who needs you anyway

 

 Before I knew better

 Before I woke up

 I said a whole lotta 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 lotta 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
