No one thought that I?d jump off that rocky ledge
So I did and I broke my leg
Then I let Jim Beam tell 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?ve put myself through?
(chorus)
Before I knew better before I woke up
I did a whole lot of 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 wreckless ways and I almost did
Somehow I lost track and wound up givin? 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 waitin? for
And who needs you anyway?
(repeat chorus)
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 lot of 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
