Francis King - Better Than That Lyrics

Saying the wrong thing but meaning the right thing I swear
I swear, I swear
I'm waltzing around like I don't give a care, but I do
But I do

When the night is defeated by dawn
I hope that I don't wake up alone

I put you through hell
I put up a fight
I've cheated myself, I've stolen and lied
No other man would take me back
But you should know better than that

Please believe me when I say I know I was wrong
I was wrong
Please forgive me for forgetting where I belong

Longing for the man I used I know
The door is open in case you come home

I put you through hell
I put up a fight
I've cheated myself, I've stolen and lied
No other man would take me back
But you should know better

Can't fix what's broken, it's too deep inside
Lying awake in the arms of my pride
It's not the thought of you with someone else
It's knowing I gave you just half of myself

I put you through hell
I put up a fight
I've cheated myself, I've stolen and lied
Call me a fool for thinking you'd take me back
I wish I'd known better than that

Oh I wish I'd known better than that
