I thought I knew you,
|
Better than I knew myself, girl,
|
I thought I found you,
|
Hiding in the strength that's in your eyes,
|
But now I see you,
|
Burning all the bridges in your world,
|
And now I feel you,
|
Sinking in the quicksand of your life
|
|
Can't you see that you're slipping away (Oh)
|
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
|
(Better than that)
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Better than that
|
Stronger than that
|
(You're worth much more)
|
You're better than that
|
And you can turn back
|
(What's tried is torn)
|
Better than that
|
Stronger than that
|
(You're worth much more)
|
I'm telling you its killing you
|
It's drowning you, it's spilling you over
|
(What's tried is torn)
|
|
I thought you knew how,
|
To chase away the demons of blind trust,
|
I thought you knew now,
|
It's all about temptation changed by choice,
|
But girl you're crazy,
|
You're hanging on to reasons turned to rust,
|
Your eyes are hazy,
|
You've gone and lost the velvet in your voice
|
|
Can't you see that you're slipping away (Oh)
|
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
|
(Better than that)
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I told you once, I told you twice,
|
I told you, baby,
|
Now there's nothing more to say.
|
I'm missing the girl I knew,
|
While I'm kissing the broken you,
|
And can't you see you'll be...
|
|
So don't back, face up to the facts
|
And you can turn back -
|
You're better than that.
|
|
Better than that, stronger than that,
|
Wiser than that, bigger than that
|
You're better than the devil in you
|
Tellin you how, pulling you down,
|
Spilling you out- but it's up to you
|
|

Better Than That
