Lyrics of Before i knew better

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
