Better Than That 
Darius

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…) 

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…) 

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
