Better Than That

Lyrics

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 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 You know 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
