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? 

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 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, 

But girl you're crazy - 

You're hanging onto reasons 

Turned to rust, 

You're eyes are hazy, 

You've gone and lost the velvet 

In your voice - 



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]



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 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 ??- but it's up to you
