Intro

Verse 1

It’s late in the afternoon the light falls through the window and 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 that maybe 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

"Well, maybe it selfishness" you say "all the promises I’ve broken thoughtlessly. I know

no way to live."

"Or, maybe it's mere distress" I say "fear to anyone close enough to see that you got

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.

Chorus

 But you know better than me.

 You know better than anyone.

 You know better than me.

 You know better than me.

Interlude

Oh, did you ever place a bet? Did you ever gamble anything for love?

Oh, what you give is what you get. And now you know its 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.

Chorus

 But you know better than me.

 You know better than anyone.

 You know better than me.

 You know better than me.
