Know Better
Tinashe Lyrics

Sitting here with my thoughts in a bottle
I am alone with my thoughts, trapped in a symbolic bottle

Every time I take a sip, I'm reminded of you
Whenever I indulge in that which relaxes me, you come to mind

Like how you been?
How have you been, my love?

Wait a minute, what am I doing?
I'm questioning my actions

It feels different when you're not around
Life is different without you by my side

Never thought that this would be us
I never imagined that we would be where we are

I feel a way, I feel a way, baby
I have mixed emotions, my love

I was fighting but you gave up
I was fighting for our relationship, but you let it go

Now you feel a way, you feel a way
You now have mixed emotions towards me

Wanna love you but I know better, better
I want to love you, but I know it's not the best decision

Wanna kiss you but I know better
I have the urge to kiss you, but I know it's not the right choice

I know better baby
I know better than to give in to my desires

Got me telling all my secrets
You make me feel comfortable enough to share my deepest secrets

Got me in and out my feeling's tonight
You've got me emotional and unsure of how to feel

Who was wrong, who was right?
It doesn't matter who was to blame

It'll fade over time
The pain and emotions will eventually dissipate

It was what I tell myself
I'm just lying to myself

Hit decline on my line when you call now
I ignore your calls now

I'm distant, it's different with you, oh whoa
I keep my distance from you, things have changed

All those nights I cried over us
I spent many nights in tears over our relationship

Where were you then? Where were you then? Baby
Where were you during those difficult times, sweetheart?

I don't wanna feel that again
I don't want to go through that pain again

I'm still afraid, I'm still afraid
I'm still scared of getting hurt

Wanna love you but I know better, better
I want to love you, but I know it's not the best decision

Wanna kiss you but I know better
I have the urge to kiss you, but I know it's not the right choice

Got me telling all my secrets
You make me feel comfortable enough to share my deepest secrets

Got me in and out my feeling's tonight
You've got me emotional and unsure how to feel

Somewhere over the horizon
In a place beyond reach

Sun is rising on you with no me
The sun rises on you without me by your side

I would put my pride aside
I'm willing to put my ego aside

If you could promise to be worth the wait
If only you could guarantee you're worth waiting for

Hoping that you think about us
I hope you still think about our relationship

Sometimes I'm still leaning on the lonely
Sometimes I'm still alone and feeling sad

Another broken heart, another day
I've had my heart broken before and it could happen again

When I fall in love, I guess I'm always gonna stay
When I fall in love, I tend to commit for the long haul

Living like a ghost, all haunted
Living in a state of loneliness and sadness

All I want is to feel like the old me
I just want to feel like the happy, carefree person I used to be

Fade away a little slower
I wish this pain and sadness would fade more slowly

I go over every word you told me
I replay every conversation we've had in my head

If it was our last then why did I feel
If that was truly our last moment, then why did it feel like more?

I'm in Heaven when you hold me
I feel like I'm in paradise when you hold me close

Still feels like
I still have the same feeling

I could fall to pieces
I could still crumble emotionally

When I hear your name
Your name triggers my emotions

Hoping just a little
I still have a small hope for reconciliation

That you feel the same, anyway
Maybe you still feel the same, despite the circumstances

Honestly
To be honest

What's another breakup
Ending a relationship wouldn't be much of a change for me

To a girl like me?
For someone like me, it's not a big deal

I could find another lover easily
It wouldn't be hard for me to find someone new

And you know it, tell me
You know it's true, admit it

Did you notice?
Have you seen?

I've been doing just fine
I've been getting by without you

It's like you're never here and the tears have all dried
It's as if you were never here and I'm not crying anymore

Did you notice me?
Did you see how I've been doing without you?

Don't even think about you every single day
I don't think about you every day, anymore

Still think about you every single night and day
I still think about you every moment of the day and night
