Now You Know Better (Single Mix)

Can you remember when you were just 6 years old

With a trusting heart accepting everything you're told

Anyone bigger must have been right

Even if they were wrong

You'd take what was given

You didn't know better

All your little mind could comprehend was goodness and truth

Even when the baddest things were being done to you

Ain't it a shame how you paid for your innocence

When you take what is given

You didn't know better 'bout

Loving cheating people leaving

Dying living losing and forgiving

Growing saying knowing

Being who you are

What about the time when you became 16 years old

With an unsure heart believing some of what you're told

Wanting to be someone different

But there's pressure to be the same

So you'd take what was given

You didn't know better

All that you could think about was what you should or should not do

Every single insecurity was magnified for you

And suddenly you begin to feel

All the contradictions

But you take what was given

You didn't know better 'bout

Loving cheating people leaving

Dying and living losing and forgiving

Growing saying

No and being who you are

Now here you are a little older than before

You've really been through it and you might go through some more

But if there is one precious thing you learned

It's that you can't just take what is given

And now you know better about

Loving cheating people leaving

Dying and living losing and forgiving

Growing saying

No and being who you are

Who you

Who you are

Who you

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are
