what i know now ft. Emily Brophy Lyrics

Wish i knew then what i know now

People get money, and then they act like they don't know you

People get power, and then they act like they control you

People get fame and attention and act like they're special

But i've seen the most beautiful pieces come from wasted potential, yeah

But money won't cry on your casket

And the power won't make your mind placid

The love people give you is just on a lease

Turn around and burn you down just like acid

Why is everybody always looking down

I wonder if the reason is we're never looking out

For anybody else other than ourselves

Selfish narcissism, down on our knees just for some clout

But i've wasted too much time trying

Convincing everyone i'm fine

Just to convince myself that i

Will always be lost if i can't seem to find it, no

I lay down my head now on my bed to sleep

Keep asking God to give me more, california king

But i've got two queens and two arrows, what else do i need?

Maybe we weren't built to be fulfilled by designer things

No, make money, make money, make money

Fast cars, off-white, new house, high life

Killing myself just to feel like i'm alright

This is not what i thought it was like

This dream that i've had every night

Wake me up

Wish i knew then what i know now

Wish i knew then what i know now

Wish i knew then what i know now
