I Know Better

I was playing stupid, young, and naive
Just a kid who always followed the stream
Blamin' everybody else for my pain
Now I know that it sounds pretty strange
But hear me out, I didn't feel pretty good
Oh, I got so fed up, I misunderstood
What was really important, what I had to get sorted
How I was meant to grow up
Mistakes that we learned from
The choices that we made
I know that I hurt some
And I'm left to blame
'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship
And there are still some voices whispering
My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down
But I know better, I know better now
I was locked up, shackled in chains
Heavy breathin' bringing smoke to my brain
Everybody tellin' me I'm insane
Now I know that it sounds pretty strange
Mistakes that we learned from
The choices that we made
I know that I hurt some
And I'm left to blame
'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship
And there are still some voices whispering
My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down
But I know better, I know better now
Mistakes that we learned from
The choices that we made
I know that I hurt some
And I'm left to blame
But I know better now
'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship
And there are still some voices whispering
My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down
But I know better, I know better now
'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship
And there are still some voices whispering
My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down
But I know better, I know better now
