I Know Better
They say sing what you knowBut I've sung what they wantSome folks do what they're toldBut baby this time I won'tWill look through that doorI know the truth won't lieSome things I've done before I can't justify
There are kings in my pastThings no one can be proud ofBut I stand in the light I've castedAnd turn away from any lack of loveOh, and I walked through that doorI say here I goYou see me and nothing moreI'm singing what I know
I know betterI know better
Legend is just a nameI know better than to be so proudI won't drink in all this fameI'll take more love than I'm allowed
I won't have to cut it off from where it cameMy history has brought me to this placeThis power and the color of my face
And I know better, ohI know better, oh
I'll rise from the floor if I don't winI'll bust open that door so let me inAnd the music chooses me to sing I let herI'll sing what I know, yes
I know better, ohI know better, yesI know betterI know better
