what i know now

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
