Now You Know Better (feat. Amel Larrieux)

Can you remember when you were just six 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 pay for your innocence?

When you take what was given

You didn't know any better 'bout

Loving, cheating, people leaving

Dying and living, losing and forgiving

Growing, saying, knowing

Being who you are

What about the time when you became sixteen 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 began to feel all the contradictions but you'd take what was given

You didn't know better 'bout

Loving, cheating, people leaving

Dying and living, losing and forgiving

Growing, saying, knowing

Being who you are

Now here you are a little older than before

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

But if there's one precious thing you've learned

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

'Cause now you know better 'bout

Loving, cheating, people leaving

Dying and living, losing and forgiving

Growing, saying, knowing

Being who you are, yeah

Who you

Who you are

Who you

Who you are

Who you are

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

I said who you are, yeah

Who you are

Who you are
