It's like when you meet a person of the opposite sex, and you think you're in love, but two months later figure out that it wasn't love, it was lust and hormones and pleasant feeling.? ?

Infatuation is to love as flattery is to a real compliment.

[axlsalinger]

It's definitely "avoid", and I am pretty sure it's "challenge". You guys convinced me of that, don't turn back now! Just use your heads and in the end you'll find that he does say 'chal-lenge' really fast-like. I am not 100% sure, more like 86%.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I think the last verse is:

If I were you
I'd manage to
avoid the invitation
a promised love
that gave you up
with your adoration
just use your head
and in the end
you'll find your inspiration
to choose your steps
that won't regret
this kind of aggrivation.

[axlsalinger]

a promised love
that gave you up
with your adoration

Still almost certain that it's "of promised love / that can't keep up / with your adoration".

[codenameninja]

oh well the album will be out soon, everyone post your completed version of what you think the lyrics are to Better and Jarmo will post a free t-shirt to the winner. So remember to include your t-shirt size at the end of your lyrics to Better 

[AxlsMainMan]

a promised love
that gave you up
with your adoration

Still almost certain that it's "of promised love / that can't keep up / with your adoration".

Yes, that perfectly fits the song more than, "that gave you up".

[Spirit]

Have anyone noticed that on the live version of "Better", Axl sings: "We've sealed the scars", instead of: "We've healed the scars"

[codenameninja]

Have anyone noticed that on the live version of "Better", Axl sings: "We've sealed the scars", instead of: "We've healed the scars"

There's probably been that many re writes of the song(s) that Axl forgets which version to go with live

Its not avoid its abhor. As for challenge, he says challenge on the demo but live he sings charms.
Its clear as day on this clip that its abhor.

Better


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 never yet been through now
We've healed the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Well had I known
Or I'd been shown back when how long it?d take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
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'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know 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
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark for my determination

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

(Solo)

All that I wanted was

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

(Solo)



If I were you
I?d manage to
Abhor the 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
That 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

[EFISH]

"If I were you, I'd manage to abhore the SITUATION.

I promiss you that is what it is, atleast live.

[Evolution]

You guys are forgetting the La Na La Na section.

I think the studio demo says "invitation" but live, it is deffinetly situation.. so thatll probably be one change of lyrics we will hear in the final version

I think you got that right...

[codenameninja]

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

Well i guess one thing is for sure, he didn't know better
