Better Than That (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I thought I knew you,
Better than I knew myself, girl,
I thought I found you,
Hiding in the strength that’s in your eyes,
But now I see you,
Burning all the bridges in your world,
And now I feel you,
Sinking in the quicksand of your life

Can’t you see that you’re slipping away (Oh)
Can’t you hear what I’m trying to say
(Better than that)

Chorus:

Better than that
Stronger than that
(You’re worth much more)
You’re better than that
And you can turn back
(What’s tried is torn)
Better than that
Stronger than that
(You’re worth much more)
I’m telling you its killing you
It’s drowning you, it’s spilling you over
(What’s tried is torn)

I thought you knew how,
To chase away the demons of blind trust,
I thought you knew now,
It’s all about temptation changed by choice,
You know you’re crazy,
You’re hanging on to reasons turned to rust,
Your eyes are hazy,
You’ve gone and lost the velvet in your voice

Can’t you see that you’re slipping away (Oh)
Can’t you hear what I’m trying to say
(Better than that)

Chorus

I told you once, I told you twice,
I told you, baby,
Now there’s nothing more to say.
I’m missing the girl I knew,
While I’m kissing the broken you,
And can’t you see you’ll be…

So don’t back, face up to the facts
And you can turn back –
You’re better than that.

Better than that, stronger than that,
Wiser than that, bigger than that
You’re better than the devil in you
Tellin you how, pulling you down,
Spilling you out- but it’s up to you

[TALK]
Hello?
Yo, look I need to talk to you
I need to talk to you because umm
Things just aren’t working out
(Laugh) Yeah whatever
We still need to talk though

I’m better than that

Yo, feel me

It’s always don’t call, I’ll call you
Secret rendevous
You think you can fool me (Picture that)
Why I never met your friends
Never in public
And you wonder why you can’t hit (No way)

[Chorus]
No more late night callin me
No more meetin up on the creep
Not cho secret property
I’m better than that
BABY
No more two way pagin me
3 in the am buggin me
That’s the way it’s gots to be
I’m better than that
BABY

[Jerzee]
Did you think that you could play me
And think I’d stay
No love I don’t take that (I don’t take that)
Now you know I’m not the one (Ah uh)
Don’t respect me none (Nope)
This right here is done (It’s done)
Done NO MORE!

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]
I deserve to be the one
I don’t need to share your love
I don’t deserve to be treated this way
Oh no NO MORE BABY!
Baby, baby, baby
This right here is done!
NO MORE BABY!

[Chorus]

No more late night callin me
Oh no, baby
No more meetin up on the creep
Oh no, baby
No more two way pagin me
Oh no, baby
3 in the am buggin me
I’m better than that

[Repeat to fade]
I’m better than that

You’re just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
And yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before
Another dream come true

It’s a power, it’s a power, it’s a power move
And while I’m not quite sure what she’s trying to prove
They all say she’s got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you’ve been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that

She’s the apple of everybody’s eye
With an angel voice
Devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste ’til they’re out of use

And she’ll network ’til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting into bed with you
Everybody’s friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I’ll never tell

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you’ve been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know you’ve been feeling down
You’re always out on the town
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that

Well, I guess it’s just what humans do
Hook up with other people until it all falls through
And when it’s over they go out and try and heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I’m not passing judgment on her sexual life
I’m passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you
You can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you’ve been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that
