It's late in the afternoon, the light falls through the window It's draws a cross above my bed Where you're on a different moon Where violent winds blow with no course inside your head
You think there may be something wrong with you To make you doubt your love like this Well, I guess I'm singing out this song to you To let you know I think there is
But you know better than me You know better than anyone You know better than me You know better than me
Well, maybe it's selfishness, you say All the promise I've broken thoughtlessly, I know that's no way to live Or maybe it's mere distress, I say Fear to let anyone close enough to see that you've got nothing to give?
You say you need to travel far away To make you think of something else
Well, I think you'd find out if you dared to stay That far away is a place inside yourself
But you know better than me You know better than anyone You know better than me You know better than me
Oh, did you ever place a bet? Did you ever gamble anything for love? Oh, what you give is what you get And now you know it's not enough
You say you need to travel far away To make you think of something else Well, I think you'd find out if you dared to stay That far away is a place inside yourself
But you know better than me You know better than anyone You know better than me You know better than me
