C F D5
They say sing what you know, but I’ve sung what they want
C F D5
Some folks do what they’re told, but baby this time I won’t

Will look through that door, I know the truth won’t lie
Some things I’ve done before, I can’t justify

[Verse 2]

C F D5
There are kings in my past, things no one can be proud of
C F D5
But I stand in the light I’ve cast, turned away from any lack of love

Oh, and I walked through that door, I say here I go
You see me and nothing more, I’m singing what I know

[Chorus]

I know better
I know better

[Verse 3]

C F D5
Legend is just a name, I know better than to be so proud
C F D5
I won’t dream in all this fame, I’ll take more love than I’m allowed

I won’t have to cut it off from where it came
My history has brought me to this place
This power and the color of my face

[Chorus]

nd I know better
I know better

[Bridge]

Oh, I’ll rise from the floor if I don’t win
I’ll bust open that door so let me in
nd the music chooses me to sing, I let her
I’ll sing what I know, yes

[Chorus]

I know better, oh
I know better, yes
I know better
I know better

[Outro]
