lyrics

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 never yet been through, now
Was to heal the scars
That got their start inside someone like you, now
Boy, 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 hope that 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, the change of heart cures my infatuation
A broken heart, to provide the spark for my determination
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

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you 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

Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone (Better, better)
They just thought I'd know better, better... (Better, better)
I was alone... (Better, better)
(Better, better)
