Better Than That
Maria Arredondo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it in your eyes
That you're not satisfied
Maybe you should give it up
Maybe you should make it stop

You say you're doing fine
That she's one of a kind
Baby I know know better than to,
Beleive that white lie

Maybe she will tell you that she cares
Tell you that she always will be there
But that don't matter, Cause I can love you better than that
Even on a cold and rainy day,
I will never ever walk away
Don't beleive in what she says cause, I can love you better than that

My friends keep asking me,

The one that takes the breath, takes your breath away
but it's hard for me
To tell them how I feel
Cause he's with someone else instead of me

Maybe she will tell you that she cares
Tell you that she always will be there
But that don't matter, Cause I can love you better than that
Even on a cold and rainy day,
I will never ever walk away
Don't beleive in what she says cause, I can love you better than that

I can love, I can love you better (Love you so much better)
Cause I would do anything for you (I'd do anything for you)
Yes I can love, I can love you better
So give me a chance

I can see it in your eyes
That you're not satisfied
Maybe you should give it up
Maybe you should stop

She will always care, Tell you she'll be there
I can love you better than that
Even when it rains, I won't walk away
I can love you better than that

Maybe she will tell you that she cares
Tell you that she'll always be there
But that don't matter, cause I can love you better than that
I can love you better
I can love you better
Don't beleive in what she says cause, I can love you better than that

I can love you better
I can love you better





I can love you better than that
