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)
