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,
|
Now I feel you
|
Sinking in the quicksand of your lies -
|
|
Can't you see that you're slipping away?
|
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
|
(You're 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 onto reasons
|
Turned to rust,
|
You're eyes are hazy,
|
You've gone and lost the velvet
|
In your voice -
|
|
Can't you see that you're slipping away?
|
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
|
(You're 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 kissing the broken you,
|
But it's not up to me...
|
|
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 ??- but it's up to you
|
|

Better Than That
