Knowing What I Know Now Lyrics

Out on the road and a refugee
Thinking about it and I cry out loud
I wouldn't ask you to comfort me
Knowing what I know now

We had a live and it went all wrong
I had a dream and you let me down
I wouldn't ask you to take that on
Knowing what I know now

Would I ask a seeing man to go blind
Would I ask a sane man to lose his mind
Could I expect you to come back somehow
Knowing what I know now

As much as you are in my heart
As much as I want you around
I wouldn't ask you to play that part
Knowing what I know now

Would I ask a seeing man to go blind
Would I ask a sane man to lose his mind
Could I expect you to come back somehow
Knowing what I know now

As much as you are in my heart
As much as I want you around
I wouldn't ask you to play that part
Knowing what I know now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
