I Know Better Lyrics by Merci Raines

Merci Raines EP

0

You want a reaction
Teeth clenched, hands sweaty, throw my words
Is that what you're after?
Lookin' for cracks in
Walls that stand on their own just a little too long
Boy, you're like me
You try to make me strike then
You can tell 'em that you knew it all along
But I, I
I know better than to show my teeth
I know better than to hand over my strength
You are what you are
You are what you are
I know better than to try your tricks
I know better than to tell you this
You are what you are
You are what you are
Am I the distraction?
Find the short falls just too high
But you're lacking
Breaking your back just to bring me down
But I've grown just a little too tall
Boy, you're like me
You try to make me strike then
You can tell 'em that you knew it all along
But I, I
I know better than to show my teeth
I know better than to hand over my strength
You are what you are
You are what you are
I know better than to try your tricks
I know better than to tell you this
You are what you are
You are what you are
Maybe the high road's just a little too high to reach
Sometimes when I stand, I'd rather be down on my knees
I won't give you anything, no, you're not worth a breath so
I'll just keep it to myself
I know better than to show my teeth
I know better than to hand over my strength
You are what you are
You are what you are
I know better than to show my teeth
I know better than to hand over my strength
You are what you are
You are what you are
I know better than to try your tricks
I know better than to tell you this
You are what you are
You are what you are
