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
'Cause 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 I'm glad I risked it all for you
'Cause 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
And now I know
Turned my sadness into this smile
And so now the pain is gone
