[Lyric] I Know Better (Corduroy Brown)

Your raven heart won't get you very far
Your heavy hands always keep you in demand
But then they might be worth the time
To try
Stay on the fence just to keep them in suspense
You save some face, never let them set the pace
Doors on the hinge, it's the way you've been

I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offеr
When the time's right, I might lеt you in
Let you in

Those idle words, ones you thought you'd never serve
Those knives and blades, things you thought you'd never face
Mistakes you've made
Throw them all away
I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offer
When the time's right, I might let you in
Let you in

Times weren't right
Couldn't talk about it, talk about it
Wonder why
I can't talk about it
Talk about it

I know better
Wait now why bother
Steady fixing things like my father
Build the walls up
Watch them fall again
I know it's hard to sit and wonder
If and when I'll come around and offer
When the time's right, I might let you in
Let you in
