Song: Better Than I Know Myself
Artist: Adam Lambert
Cold as ice
And more bitter¹ than a December
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend² to lose my temper³
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go
I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge⁴
If I wanted to leave
I would have left by now,
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself
All along
I tried to pretend⁵ it didn't matter
If I was alone
But deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know
which way to turn
Cause I'm lost without you.

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go
I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave
I would have left by now,
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you need now
So don't let me down
You're the only thing in this world
I would die without
Cause if I wanted to go
I would have gone by now
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave
I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself
Cause if I wanted to go
I would have gone by now
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave
I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself
