“I know Better Than You”

I Know Better Than You
© 2008 Jensen Bell/Los Felix Music BMI

You, you met me through a friend
You found me in a rare time out when you couldn’t be strong
You loved my words and my dumb, funny songs and

I just wanted to be loved
I wanted to belong to someone peaceful and kind
I’d be hers and she would be mine

But I know better than you
Everything that you’re going to do
I know better why we’re (still) not together, yeah
I know better than you

I saw you were just a kid
I tolerated tears and tantrums; ravings and rants
Something made me give you a chance and
I … knocked upon your door
The voices that I heard behind it whispered and then
No reply when I knocked once again

But I know better than you
Everything that you’re going to do
I know better why we’re (still) not together yeah
I know better than you

(solo)

I called you yesterday
It’s obvious to see that you’re no longer alone
When some new guy answers your phone

And I know better than you
Everything that you’re going to do
I know better why I’m writing you this letter now
I know better than you – better than you

You’d rather kill me than to sit and watch me shine
And I’m not gonna die for you this time
I’m not gonna die for you this time

You only want me when I stay between your lines
And I’m not gonna die for you this time
I’m not gonna die for you this time

’cause I can fly. Did you know?
I got wings. Here I go.

You’ve got an answer, every time I try to speak
…and I’m not gonna die for you this week.

You never listen to the words you’ve come to fear
These are the words you will not hear, ”
“I’m not gonna die for you this year…”

Yeah, cuz I’ve been dead a long, long time.
I got wings. Up I’ll climb.

I’m resurrecting.  I think I’ll buy some wine.
and I’m going to drink to being alive.
I’m not gonna die for you this time.

I wrote a letter… I’m gonna NAIL it to your door
And it says that I’m not gonna die for you anymore.
I’m not gonna die for you… no more.

“You Tear Me Up”

Here’s my story and it’s sad, but true
It all started when I met you
You asked me nice so I gave you my heart
You dug your claws in and you tore it all apart
