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
