Lyrics

I’m not gonna go to the party
I think I’ll stay back
The dresses, the drinks and the dancing…
I know better than that

And I’m not gonna go see my best friend
Because of the questions she’ll ask
I don’t want to hear my own answer
I know better than that
I know better than that

I could live a whole life in my bedroom
And I honestly think I’d be fine
I can resist it
From a safe distance
And watch as the world passes by

I’ll say I’ve come down with a sickness
And I can’t leave my bed til it’s passed
That way I won’t have to see you
I know better than that
I know better than that

I could live a whole life in my bedroom
And never need anything more
But I’m out of control
Both body and soul
The moment you knock on my door

Whenever they tell me a story
Of affairs and romances, I laugh
Why bring about your own ruin?
I know better than that

I’m no better than that
I’m no better than that
I’m no better than that
I’m no better than that

If you didn’t know that I loved you
And I didn’t know you loved me back
We might have a chance
But from our first dance
It was clear I’m no better than that

I’m no better
No better than that
No better than that

So I’ll run far away to some mountain
Curl up deep inside of some cave
A mountain so tall
This time you won’t follow me
And I’ll finally be safe
