Before You Met Me

[Verse 1]

You say I'm the kinda girl who makes you finally settle down

Put a down payment on a little white house

Mama's gonna love me, front row every Sunday kinda Christian

No cussin'

Tell me I'm the reason that you cleaned up your act

Wouldn't have a future if I knew your past

Biggest regret is that you wish you would've met me sooner

But if you knew her

[Chorus]

I was a train wreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some drug store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be, I can guarantee

Two weeks in, you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me, anythin' but holy

Glad you didn't know me before you met me

[Verse 2]

I would've chewed you up and I would've spit you out

One-night mistake that you tell your friends about

Time was on my side, we'd have ended before we even started

Back when

[Chorus]

I was a train wreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some drug store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be, I can guarantee

Two weeks in, you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me, anythin' but holy

Glad you didn't know me before you met me

[Bridge]

Didn't know no better, wasn't thinkin' 'bout forever

Didn't know myself before you met me

[Chorus]

I was a train wreck, hot mess, too many cigarettes

Bangin' with some drug store lipstick

I was a weeknight drinker, karaoke singer

Top of every preacher's prayer list

The way I used to be, I can guarantee

Two weeks in, you would've left me

Lookin' at the old me, anythin' but holy

Glad you didn’t know me before you met me

[Post-Chorus]

Before you met me
