I Know Better Now

Oh I must have left some stones unturned or could be quite a few There's a lot I've overlooked and never knew There's some things you learn while getting burned Don't feel good at the time Playing by your set of rules pretending that you'll never lose But I know better now yeah I know better now It just took a while to figure it out There's so much to take for granted when life is going well When the tides will turn no one can tell Some wise men knew that played the blues That no one has hardly heard The high cost of fooling yourself not mentioning everyone else But I know better now yeah I know better now It just took a while to figure it out Some mysteries hang on the breeze [ fiddle ] And we'll all go to some big hotel where weary hearts can rest Getting and giving more of the faith and the hope and the love I know better now yeah I know better now It just took a while to figure it out It just took me a while to figure it out --- I Know Better Now - Kelly Willis
