Before I Knew Better Lyrics - Singles - Brad Martin

No one thought that I'd jump off that rocky ledge 

So I did, and I broke my leg 

And I let Jim beam tell me 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 put myself through 

Before I knew better, before I woke up 

I did a whole lotta 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 reckless ways and I almost did 

But somehow I lost track and wound up giving 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 waiting for 

And who need you anyway 

Before I knew better, before I woke up 

I said a whole lotta 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 

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 lotta 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, before I knew better 

Before I knew better, before I knew better
