Lyrics
Who Knows Better
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.
They said if your writing offend you you should cut it out
But I say you should wait until you find a cure
If your best friend tell you something you should work it out
Work it out until you find what is true
Instead of lettin' me live my life in sorrow
Live my life in pain
Wanted to live my life in the shadows
I'll never never think of thee
And I will say who knows that I do better
Who knows that I must do better
who knows that I do better
Who knows that I must do better
This is the first letter I ever read
had so many cruel things that you said
This is the first letter I ever read
had so many cruel things that you said
From the top to the bottom deep down inside
Fooling faith and no love
You should know better
You wrote me that letter
Want me to live my life in sorrow
Live my life in pain
Want to live my life in the shadows
I'll never never think of thee
And I will say who knows that I do better
Who knows that I must do better
who knows that I do better
Who knows that I must do better
See the things I'm keeping for you easy squeazy make no lie
