what i know now Songtext
von Ellis

I set out to make something honest
You laughed at me when i said it out loud
And i did my best to keep my promise but my
Voice was just a whisper in a crowd

And i guess i felt bad that i wasn′t being grateful
I didn't think i deserved the chance you took on me
And i didn′t realize that when i signed
That dotted line i was giving away a part of me
That i wanted to keep

And it was too good to be true
And i wish i knew what i know now
I know just what i'd do
If i could redo it all somehow

And i remember the knot in my stomach
And the long and lonely walks with headphones on
Crying in the booth, i couldn't help it
I started to hate all my own songs


And after the fact you called my feelings arbitrary
You said that i was both too specific and too vague
You wrote that there wasn′t anything to latch onto
And i was gasping for air between a couple of cliches

And it was too good to be true
And i wish i knew what i know now
I know just what i′d do
If i could redo it all somehow

And i want to know
What more did you expect from me?
Under the control of some old dudes from mississippi

And it was too good to be true
And i wish i knew what i know now
I know just what i'd do
If i could redo
It all somehow

And it was too good to be true
And i wish i knew what i know now
I know just what i′d do
If i could redo it all
