A person looking back at past mistakes
fall
knew
Story behind the song
I thought of the hook from my grandson, he is 12, and of course he knows it all.
Lyrics
When I knew it all
2015
By Donnie Priest
When I knew it all I lived with no regret
Certain that my future was a sure bet
Running toward danger with no fear
Living my life without a care
People were there for me to use
Trust was just a tool I could abused
Love was a word that I used to say
When I wanted to get my way
(chorus)
I never knew how far I could fall
Back when I knew it all
My arrogance I was so blind
Rushing forward never look behind
Now I know all that Ive lost
I wasnt ready for the cost
The past is where your dreams go to die
My future it turns out was a lie
What I wanted I did not need
All the warnings I didnt heed
(chorus)
I never knew how far I could fall
Back when I knew it all
Such a sad story for me to tell
Learn this lesson and learn it well
Hindsights 20/20 wise men say
There is no redo of yesterday
(chorus)
I never knew how far I could fall
Back when I knew it all
