I thought I knew you

Better than I knew myselfgirl

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 youit'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 onceI told you twice

I told youbaby

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 backface up to the facts

And you can turn back -

You're better than that.



Better than thatstronger than that

Wiser than thatbigger than that

You're better than the devil in you

Tellin you howpulling you down

Spilling you out- but it's up to you
