Now I Know

English translation

I didn't know Rocky Top played after every touchdown, every game

'Til you took me there, I would have never cared

I didn't know you could fall in love

Tell yourself that he's the one, then change your mind

And I know why it rips my heart in two

And you don't know 'til you do

Now I know my voice might shake but I can say goodbye

I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes

Most people run back first night alone but I don't

Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive

I can pick up the pieces one at a time

Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't

'Cause now I know

I didn't know the biggest crime was wasting someone's precious time

But when 30 hits, it starts sinking in

Didn't think that I could walk away from something safe

And dive straight into the unknown on my own

But I drove down that road

Now I know my voice might shake, but I can say goodbye

I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes

Most people run back first night alone, but I don't

Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive

I can pick up the pieces one at a time

Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't

'Cause now I know

Oh, now I know

(Now I know) I can tough it out

(Now I know) when I'm breaking down

(Now I know) turn the sky around

Just because I called it home

Now I know my voice might shake, but I can say goodbye

I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes

Most people run back first night alone, but I don't

Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive

I can pick up the pieces one at a time

Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't

'Cause now I know

Now I know

Now I know
