Didn't Know Better

Yeah

I wonder if you think about the things that I could've been

Barely knew each other all the things we said and did

I settle in these thoughts I probably shouldn't meddle in

But you gave me a call and said I shouldn't let you in

Man it's funny, you ain't the only one with a past

You see a smile on my face and all the green on my grass

Halos and wings is what you think that I have

But what you see is an act

Everything is a mask

Don't you ever try and tell me you're too broken for me

I got pieces in the mirror I ain't willing to see

I couldn't tell you this the other day, I knew you would leave

But see you're perfect to me

There is not a thing that you need

But no matter what I tell you, girl, I swear you never listen

All you say is I don't get it

You don't know me, just forget it

I know you're broken hearted with a lot of regrets

You're tryna clean up the mess

Sewing together what's left

You said

I used to trust so easily

I used to fall for anything

But under all my boundaries

I just didn't know better

I used to have no confidence

Uncomfortable in my own skin

Deep down, way-way back then

I just didn't know better

Oh, oh, I just didn't know better

Oh, I used to know no better

Rain on your window pane, laying on your bed

Talking for hours, just a blur in the end

Emotional kids, tryna feel something again

I wrote you a text but I, never hit send

It's hard for me to tell you that I've been through it too

Like when you try to be together but it breaks you in two

When you believe in someone so much you don't know what to do

When you look in the mirror, like are you really you?

Insecurities looking for security

You give him love that you don't get like it's a charity

I don't believe in meant to be

I believe in let it be

I don't want another promise, I need clarity

So am I wasting my time?

Do you feel what I feel?

I love the things you tell me

Now tell me is it real?

Laying on her bed, I saw the tears in her eyes

I said I'm full of regrets I had to bury inside

I used to trust so easily

I used to fall for anything

But under all my boundaries

I just didn't know better

I used to have no confidence

Uncomfortable in my own skin

Deep down, way-way back then

I just didn't know better

Oh, oh, I just didn't know better

Oh, I used to know no better

Love is a drug and I can't get enough

I guess I ain't giving up until it kills me

But I do got a mask and I ain't taking it off

Cause I don't want anybody to see the real me

You ask me what's wrong and all I say is: I'm fine

You say: Don't worry, one day I know you will be

I said: How do you know?

She said: That's not how it goes

You'll never know if you don't let me feel the real thing

I used to trust so easily

I used to fall for anything

But under all my boundaries

I just didn't know better

I used to have no confidence

Uncomfortable in my own skin

Deep down, way-way back then

I just didn't know better

Oh, oh, I just didn't know better

Oh, I used to know no better
