my visions overtake me / please help me to erase me / you overestimate me / you must be mistaking me / for some kind of gentleman / i'm not who you think i am / i'm not nearly such a kind man / i'm really not that nice
Better Than That
Date: 12/19/2003
When you gave me part of you
I promised I would be forever true
But in my reckless youth
This is a game I'd never lose
And now I'm lost in here without you
I don't want to be like that
I'm lost in my skin
I don't want to be like that
'Cuz I'll be better than that
I got secrets that I keep
From every girl I ever meet
You were mistaking me
For someone I could never be
I try to hide my true identity
I don't want to be like that
I'm lost in my skin
I don't want to be like that
I've learned my lesson
And in my past I couldn't see
I gave up everything I had
It felt like such a part of me
But I'll be better than that
Please help me now
You are the best friend I could have
And I've been lost and found
But I'll be better than that
You were the best I had
You got secrets that you hide
And here I thought you were my better side
I didn't realize you had me blinded by it all
You're just as bad as I am on the inside
I don't want to be like that
I'm lost in my skin
I don't want to be like that
I've learned my lesson
And in my past I couldn't see
I gave up everything I had
It felt like such a part of me
But I'll be better than that
I'll be better than you
