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
