I used to run when it might hurt
I used to lay there waiting for a savior
Pushing it down so I couldn't feel what needed to heal
Now I just know better
I used to say yes when I meant no
I used to stay there when I wanted to go
I was an island so I could see that it was just me
Now I just know better, better, better, better
Now I just know better
Now I just know better
Now I just know better, better, better, better
Now I just know better
