lyrics

"Better Than This"

When I run
I run for guns
I can't project
I can protect
My little young ones

You lie for me
I lie for you
I get stumped
I get jumped
I'm gonna die for you

The weight for me
I cannot change
I've got to run to something better than
I need to know

You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who

It's your heart
Echoing a past you can't improve

Miles ahead
or miles behind
I get lost
I get frost
I get found out

I wake from my own Avalon
It's not wrong
It's all won
Looks like I died for you

I Love because I cannot change
Everything that is not separate
I need to know

You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who

It's your heart
Echoing a past you can't remove

You act like your dumb
Pretend you're one of them
Judy Blume
You and your behavior
Full of rage and savoring derring-do

You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who
You better believe there's something they're asking of you
Be better than this be better than this
It's cruel, your heart,
echoing the darkness you can't remove

We all declare
I'm innocent
But you're willful in your ignorance
It breaks your heart
It makes you cry
You wonder how you didn't die

It's because you didn't die
