There's parts of my past that I'd like to never say
I've taken risks that put others in harms way
Betrayed the ones I care about
Thinking only of myself, felt lonely

I wish I knew what I know now when I was young
I wish I knew it can't be undone
I wish I knew what I know right now
Whoa, when I was young

I've spoken lies just to create a disguise
I've brought tears down from my mother's own eyes
You've got my word, never hurt again
Finally through my mistakes I see clear

I wish I knew what I know now when I was young
I wish I knew what I know now when I was young
I wish I knew it can't be undone
I wish I knew what I know right now
Whoa, when I was young

I finally see so clear now
I'm only human after all
I finally see so clear now
I'm only human after all

I wish I knew what I know now when I was young
I wish I knew it can't be undone
I wish I knew what I know right now
Whoa, when I was young

When I was young
I wish I knew it can't be undone
I wish I knew what I know right now
Whoa, when I was young
