Before I Knew Me - Stacy Barthe

I don’t know about most things

But I know a few things

About being broken

I’ve cried too

And for so long I didn’t know the root of my pain

Lied inside of me (right inside of me)

I got good old memories good old times

But that was then and this is now

I got bad old memories bad old times

But that was then and this is now

This is me now and that was me then

Don’t hold me accountable this is me now

That was me then this is me now

Before I knew me that was me then

This is me now

I know how it feels to be stranded

Waiting on the side of the road

No one driving down and I don’t want to compromise

I know what it feels like

To be overlooked and took for granted

One good thing about pain

It never last

I got good old memories good old times

But that was then and this is now

I got bad old memories bad old times

But that was then and this is now

This is me now and that was me then

Don’t hold me accountable this is me now

That was me then this is me now

Before I knew me that was me then

This is me now
