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 onе can change a man
Like He can, hеre 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
