You Know Better

It's late in the afternoon

The light falls through the window

It's draws a cross

Above my bed

Where you're on a different moon

Where violent winds blow with no course

Inside your head

You think there may be something wrong with you

To make you doubt your love like this

Well, I guess I'm singing out this song to you

To let you know I think there is

But you know better than me

You know better than anyone

You know better than me

You know better than me

"Maybe it's selfishness" you say

"All the promise I've broken thoughtlesly

I know that's no way to live"

"Or maybe it's mere distress" I say

"Fear to let anyone close enough to see

That you've got nothing to give?"

You say you need to travel far away

To make you think of something else

Well, I think you'd find out if you dared to stay

That far away is a place inside yourself

But you know better than me

You know better than anyone

You know better than me

You know better than me

Oh, did you ever place a bet?

Did you ever gamble anything for love?

What you give is what you get

And now you know it's not enough

You say you need to travel far away

To make you think of something else

Well, I think you'd find out if you dared to stay

That far away is a place inside yourself

But you know better than me

You know better than anyone

You know better than me

You know better than me
