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
