Lirieke: Darius Danesh. 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?
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
(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
And 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 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?
And can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
(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
And 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 I'm 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 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

I thought I knew you
(Better than that, stronger than that)
Better than I knew myself, girl

Better than that you've been [Incomprehensible]
You're better than that

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)
