Jennifer Knapp Better Off lyrics

Wish I'd known the way
Wish I'd found the door
Wish I took the path
You showed me before

Because I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If I was what you want
And not what I am

Be careful what you wish
I am a dream come true
And now I'm someone else
Who only wanted you

And I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If I was what you want
And not what I am

I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If it's what you want
Then I know, I know I can

Please believe in me
Don't believe in me
I won't be thrown away


Please believe in me
Don't believe in me
I'll try to make it plain
That I can change, I can change

Wish I'd known the way
Wish I could find the door
That can take us back
To where we were before

We were better off
I was a better man
I was what you wanted
And not what I am

I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If it's what you want
Then I know I can

'Cause I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If it's what you want
Then I know I can
