Better

No one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better

No one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better

The hardest part this troubled heart

Has ever yet been through now

Was heal the scars that got their start

Inside someone like you now

For had I known or I'd been shown

Back when how long it'd take me

To break the charms that brought me harm

And all but would erase me

I never would or thought I could

No matter what you'd pay me

Replay the part, you stole my heart

I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you

I'd want someone to save me

It'd be enough, but just my luck

I fell in love and maybe

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better

You know, I know better

Now I know you better

So bittersweet, this tragedy

Won't ask for absolution

This melody inside of me

Still searches for solution

A twist of fate, a change of heart

Cures my infatuation

A broken heart, provides the spark

For my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better

Oh, no one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better

Now we all know better

I never wanted you to be so full of anger

I never wanted you to be somebody else

I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves

I only wanted you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better

Now we all know better

All that I wanted was

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

If I were you I'd manage to

Avoid the invitation

Of promised love that can't keep up

With your adoration

Just use your head and in the end

You'll find your inspiration

To choose your steps and won't regret

This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better

No one ever told me when I was alone

They just thought I'd know better, better
