MellyBeeMe—I Was Sure Back Then (TK Remix)

Verse 1 I remember fire in my chest back then Every answer came so easy, no second guess Had my world in black and white lines drawn Thought the road ahead was set in stone I’d say, “This is who I’ll always be” No room for change or mystery Head held high, heart locked tight Certain I was always right Pre-Chorus I laughed at the thought of growing old Said my story had already been told Chorus I was sure back then, I knew it all Never thought my walls would fall Swore my mind would never bend I was certain back then But life kept writing chapter after page Softening the edges of my rage Now I see how far I’ve come instead I’m not who I was back then Verse 2 Time has a way of whispering truth In quiet nights and morning views Through broken plans and open doors I found a heart that wanted more Every tear and every win Carved new light beneath my skin What I thought was strength before Was just fear I couldn’t ignore Pre-Chorus Funny how the years can rearrange Everything you swore would never change Chorus I was sure back then, I knew it all Never thought my walls would fall Swore my mind would never bend I was certain back then But life kept writing chapter after page Softening the edges of my rage Now I see how far I’ve come instead I’m not who I was back then Bridge I traded pride for empathy Judgment for humility Found that love was bigger than me And hope was waiting patiently Every step, every scar Made my heart a little larger Now I wake up grateful for The lessons life had in store Final Chorus I was sure back then, I knew it all Never dreamed I’d stand this tall With open hands and open heart A brand new kind of start The years have turned my doubt to grace Put kindness in the lines on my face Now every sunrise feels like a friend Thank God I’m not who I was back then Outro I thought I knew it all back then… But I’m so glad I learned again.
