Know Better
Josh Levi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You the one that made me believe in
What everybody's chasing and dreaming
About at night, yeah
Always told two truths, then one lie
Knew all the bad then but I went blind
But there's something about this time
I'm the one that caved in
I didn't know the game when
You're the only one that played it
There's no fun
In love and war
What's done is done
I don't want my love back
'Cause I don't got none left
But I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better, yeah
Spent my heart on ya
Emptied out my pockets
But I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better
I don't need a bandaid, I'm bleeding
I don't need your sorry, just keep it
It's me who let my guard down from defense
It's all your fault (all your fault, all your fault)
I saw the gun in your hand the whole time
But your touch had me out of my right mind
We were up to no good, it felt right
But it was wrong
I'm the one that caved in
I didn't know the game when
You're the only one that played it
There's no fun
In love and war
What's done is done
I don't want my love back
'Cause I don't got none left
But I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better, yeah
Spent my heart on ya
Emptied out my pockets
But I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better
I wish I woulda known better
The song "Know Better" by Josh Levi depicts a story of a person who fell deeply in love with someone who unfortunately took advantage of their love. The person who fell in love trusted their partner blindly and overlooked all the warning signs. Their partner lied to them, played mind games, and manipulated them. Despite all of their partner's manipulations, the person who fell in love gave their everything to their partner. They put their heart and soul into the relationship, but in the end, they got nothing in return. The song expresses that the person who fell in love wishes they had known better, and they regret letting down their guard and falling in love with their manipulative partner.
The chorus of the song, "I don't want my love back, 'cause I don't got none left, but I wish I would have known better, I wish I would have known better," expresses that the person who fell in love has given everything they had to the relationship but realizes that it was only regretful. The song's message is that we need to be cautious in love and not let our guards down too easily. We should be aware of the difference between love and manipulation and be mindful of red flags.

You the one that gave me a reason
You were the reason I had hope and motivation
You the one that made me believe in
You made me believe in the things everyone desires and dreams about
What everybody's chasing and dreaming
The things that everyone desires and dreams about
Always told two truths, then one lie
You were dishonest with me, saying two truths and then one lie
Knew all the bad then but I went blind
Although I knew about the negative things, I ignored them
But there's something about this time
However, this time felt different
This time, I say goodbye
So, this time I'm ending things
I'm the one that caved in
I'm the one who gave in
I didn't know the game when
I was unaware of the game being played
You're the only one that played it
You're the only one who played the game
There's no fun
There's no enjoyment
In love and war
In challenging situations like love and war
What's done is done
The past cannot be changed
I don't want my love back
I don't want the love I gave to you back
'Cause I don't got none left
Because I have no love left to give
But I wish I woulda known better, yeah
But I wish I had been more aware and made better choices
Spent my heart on ya
I invested my emotions in you
Emptied out my pockets
I spent a lot of my money on you
I don't need a bandaid, I'm bleeding
I don't need a temporary fix, I'm deeply hurt
I don't need your sorry, just keep it
I don't need your apologies, I don't want them
It's me who let my guard down from defense
It was my fault for letting my defenses down
It's all your fault (all your fault, all your fault)
It's all your fault
I saw the gun in your hand the whole time
I was aware of the danger you posed the entire time
But your touch had me out of my right mind
But your touch clouded my judgement and led me to make bad decisions
We were up to no good, it felt right
We were doing bad things but it felt good in the moment
But it was wrong
But it was the wrong thing to do
I wish I woulda known better
I wish I had been more aware and made better choices
I wish I woulda known better
I wish I had been more aware and made better choices
I wish I woulda known better
I wish I had been more aware and made better choices
