Better Than That

Edith Backlund

Compositor: Edith Backlund

Have I scared you off again
'cause it seemes as if your cheeks are losing color
Still you're eager to pretend
and you're feeding me signs
while you look for a place to take cover
Go on, claim your right to know me
But don't act as if you cannot see

That I am better than that
so much better than that
and I deserve more than that
so you should treat me
better than that

When you're drunk and out of luck
I'm the ruler of your never-ending Drama
You are acting by the book
and you're feeding me lies 'til I'm up to my eyes
in bad kharma
But I know as I wake by your side
that you're not even close to my kind

'cause I am better than that
so much better than that
I deserve more than that
so you should treat me
better than that

Now, I know you are confused
but honey, what about me?
I never thought this would be easy
but there has to be

Something better than this
so much better than this
'cause I deserve more than this
give me something better than this
