Better Than That
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been watching you from a distance
Cos that's where I stand
Hoping I could get a bit closer
To reach out my hand
Looks like someone took your world of wonder
And stripped it away
Left you tearing up your dreams in the shallow
Of washed up bay
Everything you know just seems to drag you down
So I just want to take the time to raise you up
Make you understand
Your so much better than that, you are
I'll make you understand, your so much better than that
I've been watching the way you carry
Your life around
It's like a heavy, heavy load
You gotta lay it down
Let the hope of good days coming
Touch your eyes
Girl the truth of love is out there
Gotta walk through these lies
Words that you were given left you where you fell
I will take those words and send them back to hell
Don't you understand
Your so much better than that
I'll make you understand, your so much better than that
Everything you know just seems to drag you down
So I just want to take the time to raise you up
Make you understand
You're so much better than that, you are
I'll make you understand, your so much better than that
I want to raise you up, your so much better than that
I'll make you understand, your so much better than that
You're so much better than that
