Tina Dickow - You Know Better lyrics
[Tina Dickow - You Know Better lyrics]
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 thoughtlessly
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
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 thoughtlessly
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
