Better Than That

Lyrics

[Intro] Mmm, shame it's like that Life really flies by fast Watching the taillights of your hatchback I thought I knew you a little better than that (than that) You said "it's not you, it's the timing" Funny how you found perfect time to start lying (yeah) We had plans drinks on the porch by Sunday Now I'm hearing from your friends you got a new man by Friday (damn) [Chorus] I thought I knew you a little better than that How you walk away, don’t even look back (look back) Said forever over cheap off brand wine Guess forever had a checkout time I thought I knew you a little better than that Now I’m yelling at a contact I can’t have (can’t have) In my phone, in my head, in the past I thought I knew you a little better than that (than that, than that) [Verse 2] Late texts "you up?" in the sidebar You read it, let it sit like my shirt in your side yard Our photo at the fair on your fridge, you replaced it With a picture on the docks same pose, different face in it (wow) You said "it's just a break we both need room" But your room filled fast I can hear it in your laugh through the gloom (hey) Now my hoodie’s in your closet like a ghost on a hanger All that August heat turned to September anger [Chorus] I thought I knew you a little better than that How you shut the door, never even left a crack (nah) Shared secrets on a cold midnight drive Guess i'm buried where the daylight dies I thought I knew you a little better than that Now I’m scrolling through a life I can’t have (can’t have) All your smiles in a jacket you bought with my cash I thought I knew you a little better than that (yeah, yeah) [Bridge] [Strings swell, drums thin out] [Beat drops out, just piano and strings] [Chorus] I thought I knew you a little better than that How you switch hearts like you change up your hats (oh) Held my hand under copper grey skies Now you’re giving that look to another pair of eyes I thought I knew you a little better than that Screaming into every echo in this flat (so loud) Falling leaves on the path we once passed I thought I knew you a little better than that [Outro] Yeah, I thought I knew you a little better than that But I should've known better than that I’m better than that (I’m better than that)
