[Intro]

Oh, oh, oh

Just didn't know better


[Verse 1]

See, this could be the realest picture ever painted

I never thought that I could summon what I need to say this

But I'ma say it how it is and you'll just have to take it

After all you didn't leave me with an explanation

You told me not to put you in the same bracket

But bending what you said it put me in a straight jacket

You think a promise is something you take back

It just ain't happened, you said you wouldn't cause the same panic

Let's face facts, you know everything I go through

Despite the fact it hurts I made sure I still showed you

Despite the fact you promised you'd still remain honest

It's all gone and you said you're not the same as them bollocks

I'm not gonna continue pretending I'm still buzzing

No matter who it is their words they mean nothing

I'm not fucking with anyone telling them stop coming

I'm lost from it admitting I'm sitting I'm not running, yeah


[Chorus]

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 skin

Deep down, way, way back then

I just didn't know better

I just didn't know better

I used to know no better


[Verse 2]

By the time you hear this I'll probably already be gone

I'm jumping off the stage that you put me on

You think you made the sacrifice think I ain't been acting right

You're getting suspicious over things that never happen like

Walking to the club with you is so stressed

Whisper in my ear about the people I don't know yet

Talking about these people they'll be judging me with no sense

Tryna build a box around my body that's a slow death

I don't need a coffin yet life inside my body yeah calling it protection

As I'm walking past the window I can see my own reflection in the background

But you just never back down

Always on my shoulder, man I think about the blackout

Supposed to be the reason that I'm sensible

You just made my heart break and that shit isn't mendable

Now I'm just a scarred face, I feel so unreliable

Never wanna part take in anything

You got me feeling something indescribable


[Chorus]

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 skin

Deep down, way, way back then

I just didn't know better

I just didn't know better

I used to know no better


[Verse 3]

See I don't care about rooftops and palm trees

I don't care about gold chains and car speeds

I just care about keeping up with my heartbeat

Speaking every truth that I've been told until I can't breathe

So I set sail like the Titanic

I've been through a lot of trouble yeah but I manage

I've been up and down years I'mma die happy

Try and kill my spirit better tick it like a nike jacket


[Chorus]

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

I just didn't know better

I used to know no better

Know no better

I used to know no better

I used to know no better
