God Knew Better

I used to tear up the town

Thought I had life figured out

Lookin' at where I am now

I was dead wrong

I'd wake up next to a fifth

Almost as empty as it

So sure I'd never commit

I was headstrong

Thought nothin' would settle me down

If the old me could see me now

Lookin' in your eyes, girl

I never thought He'd let me call you mine, girl

I'm sendin' up a "thank you" to the sky, girl

The best gift ever

Thought I knew best, but God knew better

No one can wreck your plans

No one can change a man

Like He can, here I am, I'm livin' proof

He put me and you together

Thought I knew best, but God knew better

(Thought I knew best, but God knew better)

I swear you were my saving grace

And wouldn't blame you if you didn't stay

But you did when you didn't have to do it

I gave you every reason, but somehow you loved me through it

Lookin' in your eyes, girl

I never thought He'd let me call you mine, girl

I'm sendin' up a thank you to the sky, girl

The best gift ever

Thought I knew best, but God knew better

No one can wreck your plans

No one can change a man

Like He can, here I am, I'm livin' proof

He put me and you together

Thought I knew best, but God knew better

Thought nothin' would settle me down

If the old me could see me now

Lookin' in your eyes, girl

I never thought He'd let me call you mine, girl

I'm sendin' up a thank you to the sky, girl

The best gift ever

Thought I knew best but God knew better

No one can wreck your plans

No one can change a man

Like He can, here I am, I'm livin' proof

He put me and you together

Thought I knew best, but God knew better

(God knew better)

Thought I knew best, but God knew better
