| Better Than That |
 |
| 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...) 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 it's 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, Your 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) 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 it's killing you It's drowning you, it's spilling you over (What's tried is torn) 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 look back, face up to the facts And you can turn back - You're better than that. Better than that, stronger than that, wiser that 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. |
