Better
Guns N' Roses · Chinese Democracy [2008]
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
The hardest part this troubled heart has never yet been through now
Was heal the scars that got their start inside someone like you now
For had I known or I'd been shown back when how long it'd take me
To break the charms that brought me harm
And all that won't erase me
I never would or thought I could
No matter what you paid me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and maybe
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet, this tragedy, won't ask for absolution
This melody, inside of me, still searches for solution
A twist of faith, a change of heart, cures my infatuation
A broken heart, to provide the spark, for my determination
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better...
All that I wanted, was...
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better!
I never wanted you to be so full of anger (anger)
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted, was...
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was...
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
(Cont. thru verse)
If I were you, I'd manage to, avoid the invitation
Of promised love, that can't keep up, with your adoration
Just use your head, and in the end, you'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps, and won't regret, this kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
