before i knew me

i don't know about most things, but i know a few things, about being broken, i've cried too, and for so long i didn't know the root of my pain, lied inside of me, i got good old memories good old times, but that was then and this is now, i got bad old memories bad old times, but that was then and this is now, this is me now and that was me then, don't hold me accountable this is me now, that was me then this is me now, before i knew me that was me then, this is me now, i know how it feels to be stranded, waiting on the side of the road, no one driving down and i don't want to compromise, i know what it feels like, to be overlooked and took for granted, one good thing about pain, it never last, i got good old memories good old times, but that was then and this is now, i got bad old memories bad old times, but that was then and this is now, this is me now and that was me then, don't hold me accountable this is me now, that was me then this is me now, before i knew me that was me then, this is me now
