I Know Better Now

I used to think what goes around would surely come back around

But I know better now

Thought those dreams I was chasing would finally gain some ground

But I know better now

I thought you danced to your own rhythm

Second chances were a given

And everyone gets to share the crown

But I know better now

I know a deep breath keeps you breathing

Your heart's beating if you're bleeding

Prayer keeps you flying when the weight's tryna drag you down

I know a song keeps you singing

A little curve keeps you swinging

You lean a lot harder onto faith when your luck runs out

The pain cuts to the nerve

And I'm no stranger to the hurt

But I know better now

When I was a child, I walked like a child

Talked like a child, and thought like a child

But I know better now

Got a little further down the road

And learned life's a string of things you gotta let go

And hope they come back around

And if they do, you let 'em in a little more

Hit your knees and thank the good Lord

And if they don't, oh, you thank Him all the same

I know better now

I know a deep breath keeps you breathing

Your heart's beating if you're bleeding

Prayer keeps you flying when the weight's tryna drag you down

I know a song keeps you singing

A little curve keeps you swinging

You lean a lot harder onto faith when your luck runs out

The pain cuts to the nerve

And I'm no stranger to the hurt

But I know better now

I learned love works like a medicine

And the scars are the evidence

Whatever's in the past is irrelevant

I know better now

A deep breath keeps you breathing

Your heart's beating if you're bleeding

Prayer keeps you flying when the weight's tryna drag you down

I know a song keeps you singing

A little curve keeps you swinging

You lean a lot harder onto faith when your luck runs out

The pain cuts to the nerve

And I'm no stranger to the hurt

But I know better now

I know better now
