better than this

BETTER THAN THIS

(Verse 1)

When our friends asked us if we were together

We would just blush and deny

You had always said "I would rather date a man"

I brushed it off telling myself it wasn't true

So I just masked my true feelings

by saying things that I didn't even mean

I didn't realize it before but

You always had a look of hurt on your face

Whenever I talked to you about another guy

But I just rambled on about how he made my day

(Chorus)

I didn't know you had felt about me like that

If I did I probably would have told you before

But now I know that we would never work out

I thought I knew you better than this

(Verse 2)

I barely knew anything about you

But I didn't even care

I only met you about three months before you asked me

I was foolish to jump into something I barely knew

We didn't tell anyone about our choice

You said to wait until we were ready

I thought it was sweet until people came up to me

And said that you had a girlfriend

I asked them who she was

But they didn't reply

I told you about it but you didn't even care

You went around telling everyone how you weren't alone anymore

How you finally had someone by your side

I felt betrayed that you would go back on your word

But you forced me to stay with you through it all

(Chorus)

I didn't know you had felt about me like that

If I did I probably would have told you before

But now I know that we would never work out

I thought I knew you better than this

(Bridge)

You started tearing us apart from the inside

Not even realizing what you were doing

Oh, your "funny" personality

You think that everything you say is a joke

After everything broke down

You still tried to take me back

But now I hope you know now

That I only belong to me

(Chorus/Outro)

I didn't know you had felt about me like that

If I did I probably would have told you before

But now I know that we would never work out

I thought I knew you better than this
