You Know Me Better

 

Verse 1

 

Sit down and let me tell you a story

about the girl that I used to be.

Colored my world with

no inhibitions to bind me

 

Time goes by and

I get lost in my life

the struggles of living,

tend to darken my mood

 

Pre Chorus

 

But you came along and it

felt so good, to be loved.

 

Chorus

 

Cause you know me better than

I ever knew myself

a lonely girl with no one to hold

no place that I’d call home.

A restless heart doesn’t get very far

a search in the dark for the missing one.

A chase that never really ends,

if only I knew how to stop

 

Verse 2

 

I’ve been running all of my life

from the things that I couldn’t control.

Covered my feelings with self medication,

Just let the numbness take a hold.

 

Life in the city always seemed so good

just a number no identity

It’s easy to get lost when the world

doesn’t know you exist, it’s just  you.

                                                                                               

 

Chorus

 

But you know me better than

I ever knew myself

a lonely girl with no one to hold

no place that I’d call home.

A restless heart doesn’t get very far

a search in the dark for the missing one.

A chase that never really ends

if only I knew how to stop.

 

 

Bridge

 

You know how to reach me when I get caught up in my other world

and I fight the longing for the seclusion that I know only causes you pain.

I wish I could just trust myself, I owe you so much of my life

I want to honor your faith in me

I wanna break free of the ties

that keep me away from you

I wanna feel alive.

 

Chorus:                                                                                                                                   

 

Cause you know me better than

I ever knew myself

a lonely girl with no one to hold

no place that I’d call home.

A restless heart doesn’t get very far

a search in the dark for the missing one.

A chase that never really ends

if only I knew how to stop

 

If only I knew how to stop
