Oh I must have left some stones unturned
Or could be quite a few
There's a lot I've overlooked and never knew
There's some things you learn while getting burned
Don't feel good at the time
Playing by your set of rules
Pretending that you'll never lose
But I know better now
I know better now
It just took a while to figure out
There's so much to take for granted
When life is going well
And when the tides will turn no one can tell
Some wise men knew that played the blues
That no one has hardly heard
The high cost of fooling yourself
Not mentioning everyone else
But I know better now
I know better now
It just took a while to figure out
Some mysteries hang on the breeze
SOLO
And we'll all go to some big hotel
Where weary hearts can rest
Getting and giving more of the faith and the hope and the love
But I know better now
I know better now
It just took a while to figure out
