Better Than You

  • It's not the waking up without you in this big old bed
    It's not the way you said goodbye or what I wished I'd said
    It ain't the emptiness or the in—between
    Not the way you left me hanging in a memory
    No, it ain't waking up without you in this big old bed
    That kills me

    It's the knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better than you
    Than you

    And I can make myself move on on a neon night
    I feel a little like myself until it's closing time
    But it's just temporary, no reality
    Every morning like a hammer coming back to me

    Knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better than you
    Now I'm putting it all together
    Burn a hole in my heart forever
    It's the knowing it don't get better than you

    I burn a hole in my heart forever
    But now I'm putting it all together

    It's the knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better
    It's the knowing it don't get better than you
    And now I'm putting it all together
    Burn a hole in my heart forever
    It's the knowing it don't get better than you
    Than you
    Than you

    Don't get better than
    Don't get better than you Writer/s: Gordon Sampson, Hillary Lindsey, Will Hoge
