Better Than You
If I'm being honest
I think that I lost it
Who I wanted to be
Just because I was like nobody else
I thought something better of myself
I said this world wouldn't change me
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
I looked back for a minute
But the years flew with it
Could you recognize me oh
Cause I've been looking at the people around
And I can't tell me from the crowd
Guess I needed saving
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
I should've known that we always fall so short
Of what our heart longs for
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
I think that I lost it
Who I wanted to be
Just because I was like nobody else
I thought something better of myself
I said this world wouldn't change me
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
I looked back for a minute
But the years flew with it
Could you recognize me oh
Cause I've been looking at the people around
And I can't tell me from the crowd
Guess I needed saving
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
I should've known that we always fall so short
Of what our heart longs for
Now I've been watching 'em fall
And watching 'em break
But I never thought I'd make that mistake
I was the one who had all the brains
What was I thinking
Running along and acting so sure
That I'd never lose myself to the storm
But I'm not the same girl I was before
What was I thinking what was I thinking
Thinking I was better than you that I was better than you
