I've always thought, there was something a little off about you
But I let it go, it felt better not to know the whole truth
Yeah, I turned my face, to a fist full of rings
You took a cheap shot, I let you swing
I went down, swore I'd come up black and blue
But it turns out
It took a sucker punch to see what it was
The start of me would be the ending of us
The clarity I needed straight to the gut
May have knocked me right off of my feet, yeah
You shook me up but, baby, all in the best way
It took a severance to ditch all the dead weight
Hit me all at once, but I needed the pain
To knock some sense back into me
Lesson learned, got both eyes on the back of my head
Oh, how the tables turned
Coulda killed me, had the opposite effect
Keep my hands up, now I'm a pro
To get this high I had to go that low
I give 'em a show
Now that I know
Now that I know
It took a sucker punch to see what it was
The start of me would be the ending of us
The clarity I needed straight to the gut
May have knocked me right off of my feet, yeah
You shook me up but, baby, all in the best way
It took a severance to ditch all the dead weight
Hit me all at once, but I needed the pain
To knock some sense back into me
Turned my face to a fist full of rings
Yeah, you took a cheap shot but I learned how to swing
I fought a few rounds, had me down on the ground
But I'm better off now

Better off now
Better off, I'm better off now
