Lyric 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,
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,
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
