Before I Knew Better lyrics
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 ain t 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 need 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
