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
|
