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      Can't you see that you're slipping away, oh   Can't you hear what I'm trying to say   (Better than that)      Better than that   You're stronger than that   You're worth much more   You're better than that   And you can't turn back   What's tried is torn   Better than that   You're stronger than that   You're worth much more   I'm telling you, it's killing you, its drowning you, its 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 dictation, changed by choice   But girl, you're crazy, you're hanging onto reasons turned to rust   Horizon 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)      Better than that   You're stronger than that   You're worth much more   You're better than that   And you can't turn back   What's tried is torn   Better than that   You're stronger than that   You're worth much more   I'm telling you, it's killing you, its drowning you, its 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 kissing the broken you   But it's not up to me      So don't look back, face up to the facts   And you can't turn back, you're better than that      Better than that, stronger than that, wiser than that, you're bigger than that, you're better than the devil   And he's telling you how, pulling you down, filling you out   But it's up to you...
