Cook, David - Better Than Me Lyrics






You ain't even scared
Cause you know I know you will conquer it
Yeah you're finally getting there
I wish I had it all cause I'd offer it

And it feels like a last stop
And it feels like an open wound
Whatever it is that you did to me
It didn't have to be so soon

Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go be better than me
Go on
Go on

Look beneath your feet
The road rolls out in front of you
And your soul to keep
In the arms of Madison Avenue

And it hits like a running train
and it hurts like being alive
If you really gave up
Then why'd you tell me
I've become the shadow
You the light

Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go on, go be better than me
Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go be better than me
Go bet better, go be better
Go on
Go on

All the hot lights and the famous streets
It's just the first step in forgetting me

Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go on, go be better than me
Go on, go on
Go be better than me
Go be better than me
Go be better, go be better
Go on
Go on

  3. C.... ....

    After having listened to all three of his albums on Spotify over the last two days (Analog Heart isn't there so I haven't heard that yet), this one is so much better than the previous two it's not even funny. It's still not perfect but wow, what a colossal improvement.

  4. t.... f....

    So beautiful! One of my favorites!

  5. G.... A....

    I'm in love with this song!

    If you like the sound of Better Than Me, you'll probably like David Cook's new single -Gimme Heartbreak. It's got this bluesy feel too - stream it, buy it, gift it, request it from your favorite radio station!

  9. N.... [....

    Finally... a David Cook song with creativity.

    N.... [....

    If you like this song, check out his new song Gimme Heartbreak released at the end of June, it has a blusey, dark, rock vibe. Totally different than anything he's done before!

  10. S.... P....

    ITA...would love to see what would happen if DC gave this song a chance by releasing it as a single. Never know who's lurking out there!!! lol

  12. D.... L....

    For some reason the backing keyboard riff reminds me of Tina Tuner's "Whats Love Got To Do With It"

  13. d.... ....

    Amazing vocals, such a sexy song!

  17. s.... ....

    I'm the only one who dissappointed from the bridge?
    It's started in a just promosing way...the verses are emotional but the bridge is so weak :\

  18. J.... R....

    Honestly, Is there any musical style or genre this man can't sing??? Absolutely stunning vocals on this song. It doesn't hurt to have one of the best male voices out there singing backup!!!!! I seriously wish he would collaborate with another artist on a song...I'm sure it would be unforgettable!!!!!
