You always said I’d be burned by you, but I would not listen to you
And now I know just what you meant
I played with fire, but I should have listened to all you said
But you were just too perfect, and I was just too lonely, and I took the chance
I took a chance

And I’m glad I risked it all for you
Cuz I wouldn’t know what love is, if I didn’t give my heart away to you
But now I know, now I know, now I know
I’ve learned so much, and now I know

That what I had for you was true love, you’re my first true love
And I had to be taught the hard way
I wanted to beg you to stay with me forever, but now it’s over
And what I dreamed would happen didn’t, I thought that it could work, it couldn’t be
And now I know, turned my sadness into this smile
And so, now the pain is gone
