Better, Lyrics by Axl Rose from Chinese Democracy
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
Was heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now
For 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 but would erase me
I never would
Or thought 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 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
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I'd know better,
better
All that I wanted was...
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you 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 know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was...
If I were you
I'd manage to
Avoid 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
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
Here's a live version of Better from when Robyn Finck was touring with GNR.

Best GnR song in 15 years :)
This &^%$ing rocks!
It makes believe in rock again, great album
I heard Better was going to have a video released soon. N E 1 know when? Apparently Lars Ulrich is in it!
This spng proves to all the judgmental 'critics' out there, that they are WRONG about Axl Rose. He has more talent in his little finger than they have in every square inch of their existence.
