[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
But you know better than me
You know better than anyone
You know better than me
You know better than me

[Verse 2]
"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?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
But you know better than me
You know better than anyone
You know better than me
You know better than me

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
But you know better than me
You know better than anyone
You know better than me
You know better than me
