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 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
