"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
Now I feel you
Sinking in the quicksand of your lies

(BRIDGE)
Can't you see that you're slipping away?
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?
(You're 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 how
It's all about temptation
Changed by choice
But girl you're crazy
You're hanging onto reasons turned to rust
Your eyes are hazy
You've gone and lost the velvet in your voice

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 kissing the broken you
But it's not up to me
So don't look back, face up to the facts
And you 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......
