Better Than This

Guess it’s time to share the news
That I’m not staying
We have opposing points of view
And I’m not playing
Don’t ask me for time
There isn’t any
Not one reason or rhyme
So many

When we started it felt good
I wanted to be with you
I really thought you understood me
We were so good as two
But when I opened my eyes
You were lying
I tried to close them again
But I was crying

Chorus
I didn’t expect to feel this way
I didn’t expect to have to pay
I didn’t expect to be your prey
I didn’t expect to leave today

If you’d give me half a chance
I would explain to you
This is not my kind of dance
I won’t be a fool
I’ll pack my things and go
Please don’t make it harder
I’ll slowly walk away
To a safer harbour

Chorus
I didn’t expect to be here
I didn’t expect a to feel fear
I didn’t expect to be so scared
I didn’t expect to have regrets

You took my breath away
But not from lovin’ me
The bruises will fade
But not my memory
I just can’t believe
I didn’t see it coming
I was looking for love
And now I’m running

Chorus
Baby you took my breath away
I thought that I was here to stay
Baby you blew my mind away
Baby I’ve gotta leave today

I am better than this
I am better than this
I am better than this
I am better than this
I am better than this
I am better than this
I am better than this…

I guess it’s time to face the truth
I’m not staying…
