I Know Better
We give the worst the benefit of the doubt
And look for reasons never to walk out
Mama said don't trust that boy
He's only out here to destroy
Baby I've been here before
So listen to the signs
But her mistakes weren't mine
I should've known better
So what am I doing here?
Watching him rage I control my fear
He says I deserve every one of my tears
But, I know better
There are things we have to learn ourselves
We ignore the truth, ignore the help
Can't say I wasn't warned about you
Scares left like a fake tattoo
Even though I stand here bruised
My heart might have been blind
But here in my mind
I should've known better
So what am I doing here?
Watching him rage I control my fear
He says I deserve every one of my tears
But, I know better
If I hear run, I'm gonna ask how fast
I'll trust my gut, remember the past
When you call beggin' to take me back
I'll know better
I'm not going there
I'm too strong for you to rule my fears
No, you can't have any more of my tears
Cuz I know better
I know better
And look for reasons never to walk out
Mama said don't trust that boy
He's only out here to destroy
Baby I've been here before
So listen to the signs
But her mistakes weren't mine
I should've known better
So what am I doing here?
Watching him rage I control my fear
He says I deserve every one of my tears
But, I know better
There are things we have to learn ourselves
We ignore the truth, ignore the help
Can't say I wasn't warned about you
Scares left like a fake tattoo
Even though I stand here bruised
My heart might have been blind
But here in my mind
I should've known better
So what am I doing here?
Watching him rage I control my fear
He says I deserve every one of my tears
But, I know better
If I hear run, I'm gonna ask how fast
I'll trust my gut, remember the past
When you call beggin' to take me back
I'll know better
I'm not going there
I'm too strong for you to rule my fears
No, you can't have any more of my tears
Cuz I know better
I know better
