'Better' lyrics...

[Mr.Intensity]

woohoo ? I love this song i've been listening to it all day long ..my mom is going nut! ?

Yeah, it definitely is a great demo... it just needs to be polished up a little bit.

[echrisl]

I'm pretty certain now that at least some of that last part in mine is wrong ... I'll leave it to the next lucky contestant ...

[HoldenCaulfield]

I'm pretty positive the last half goes like this:

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
you know I know you know better
now you know me better

(solo)

I never wanted you to be so full of anger,
I never wanted you to be somebody else,
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves,
I only wanted you to see things for yourself,

All that I wanted was
now I know you better,
now we all know better,
all that I wanted was

(solo)

just knowing you, I bet it's true,
a point of invitation,
upon this love thatgave you up, with your adoration
just use your head and in the end,
you'll find your inspiration,
to choose your steps, I won't regret,
this kind of aggrivation,

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.
No one ever told me when I was alone,
they just thought I'd know better, better...

[F*ck Fear]

I'm pretty positive the last half goes like this:

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
you know I know you know better
now you know me better

(solo)

I never wanted you to be so full of anger,
I never wanted you to be somebody else,
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves,
I only wanted you to see things for yourself,

All that I wanted was
now I know you better,
now we all know better,
all that I wanted was

(solo)

just knowing you, I bet it's true,
a point of invitation,
upon this love thatgave you up, with your adoration
just use your head and in the end,
you'll find your inspiration,
to choose your steps, I won't regret,
this kind of aggrivation,

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.
No one ever told me when I was alone,
they just thought I'd know better, better...

From what I can tell,that looks about right.
Good job man

[Jizzo]

its hard to tell the lyrics cause the version i have is all diced up

[mrvics]

I'm pretty positive the last half goes like this:

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
you know I know you know better
now you know me better

(solo)

I never wanted you to be so full of anger,
I never wanted you to be somebody else,
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves,
I only wanted you to see things for yourself,

All that I wanted was
now I know you better,
now we all know better,
all that I wanted was

(solo)

just knowing you, I bet it's true,
a point of invitation,
upon this love thatgave you up, with your adoration
just use your head and in the end,
you'll find your inspiration,
to choose your steps, I won't regret,
this kind of aggrivation,

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.
No one ever told me when I was alone,
they just thought I'd know better, better...

Ok, after the last solo, you've got  alot of it wrong.
Check this:

"This melody inside of me
 Still searches for a solution.
A twist of fate, a change of heart
Killed my infatuation..."

Solo

"If I were you, I'd manage to
Avoid an invitation
Of promised Love
That can't keep up
With your adoration.
Just use your head and in the end
You'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret this kind of admiration."

A broken heart TO HIDE the spark
For my determination

Thanks to whoever posted the link earlier tonight!

[WARose]

i love the vocal melodies and the rhymes... great work axl!!

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better
Ooh, No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better

The hardest part this troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
We?ve healed the scars that got their start
Inside someone like you now
Well had I know or I?d been shown
Back when I?d long you?d take me
To break the charge that brought me home
And all that won?t erase me

I never would, not that I could
No matter what you?d pay me
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you?re crazy
If all I knew was that with you
I?d want someone to save me
It be enough, but just my luck
I fell in love and baby
All that I wanted was

Now I?d call you better
You know I?d know better
Now I know you better

So bittersweet this tragedy
Won?t ask for  absolution
This melody inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of fate, the change of heart
Kills my infatuation
A broken heart to hide the spark
For my determination


No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better
Ooh, No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better

All that I wanted was

I know you know
You know better
You know I know
You know better
Now you know me better

I never wanted you to be
So full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be
Someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted was
Now I call you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was

All I want now
All I want now
All I want now
All I want now
If I were you I?d manage to
(All I want now)
Abort the invitation
A promised love that can?t
Keep up with your  adoration
Just use your head and in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and won?t regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better
No one ever told me
When I was alone
They just thought I?d know better
Better

"Jesus...he knows me...
 He knows...I'm right..."

YOU are crazy.
 

[D]

Ok - pet peeve of mine - people who praise people who post obviolsly incorrect lyrics...I mean, some of those lines don't even make sense.

I think this is a little more accurate, but some words are inaudible...like the first like, I think it's 'I'd know' but it could be 'I knew'  - but I think 'I'd know' makes more sense. There's a 'but' that might be a 'that' but I think it's a 'but'

So go ahead correct these, but please please please for the sake of my sanity, don't 10 people reply saying how 'spot on' and awesome obviously incorrect lyrics that don't even make sense are.  Things I think might not be right in ().

First time post here, because I think it's finally here...

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now

(inaudible) heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Oh had I known
Or I'd been shown
Back when how long it'd take me

To break the (inaudble)
That brought me home
(And all but (that?) would erase me)

I never would
Know that I could
No matter what you'd pay me

Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew
Was that with you
I'd want someone to save me

It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and maybe

All that I wanted was...

Now I know you better,
You know I know...

Dude u gonna hate on this dudes transcription and u post this???

[D]

anyone tried to interpret this?

No one ever told me when I was alone just thought Id know better


what does this mean?

anyone got any interpretations?

[younggunner]

I think when he says "no1 ever told me when I was alone, they just thought id know better"

, I think hes talking about his childhood and how even though people knew things were happening that shouldnt have happened, happened,,

and that line sinks in for me too..it hits on a lot of levels in my life which is why I can really relate to this song{not an abused situation like maybe Axl but just the subtle lessons life has to offer}

[echrisl]

I think he's writing about someone he's had a former romantic relationship with.

Anyone else hear it like this?

A broken heart TO HIDE the spark
For my determination

Thanks to whoever posted the link earlier tonight!

i heard it as : A broken heart to hide the spark FROM my determination. i could be wrong though. i'll have to give a closer listen.

[younggunner]

a broken heart provides the spark for my determination....makes the most sense

[1badapple]

should be -A broken heart IGNITES the spark for my determination. that would make the most sense, but i didn't write the song so, oh well.............

[estranged.1098]

And all that won?t erase me

Maybe it's "unleash me"?

[1badapple]

gee, won't it be nice when the cd comes out. hopefully the damn lyrics will be included.
