Baby, since you left me, there's somebody new She thinks I'm perfect, I swear She likes my body, my class and my charm She says I've got a confident air She respects my ambition, thinks I'm talented too But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through Oh, you know me better than that You know the me that gets lazy and fat How moody I can be, all my insecurities You've seen me lose all my charm You know I was raised on a farm Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect And that I love her cat But you know me better than that I miss picnics and blue jeans and buckets of beer Now it's ballet and symphony hall I'm into culture, clean up to my ears It's like wearing a shoe that's too small Oh, I caught her with an issue of Brides magazine Starin' at dresses and pickin' out rings But you know me better than that, You know the me that gets lazy and fat How moody I can be, all my insecurities You've seen me lose all my charm You know I was raised on a farm Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect And that I love her cat But you know me better than that Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect And that I love that cat Oh, but you know me better than that...

Let's break in the mirror This our M-world It doesn't matter whoever, however, wherever We got nothing but more You came from the shadow She falls from the glow Don't even need to know Whoever we were before Just sticking together No matter what it takes to win this like us Gonna step in the mirror We've been waiting for this like forever Now, are you ready? (Are you ready?) We were trying, dying, fighting back again Now, are you ready? (Are you ready?) We were growing, rising, laughing ever again We better than me Us better than me Stay together, let it Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We better than me Us better than me Stand together, let it Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We better than me... We better than me... Let's wait for the light Stay up to shine Until the sound is roaring, the world is shaking The hearts are beating, now is the time We're top of this city Strangers by name The only thing I know is that We're fighting as one Just sticking together No matter what it takes to win this like us Gonna step in the mirror We've been waiting for this like forever Now, are you ready? (Are you ready?) We were trying, dying, fighting back again Now, are you ready? (Are you ready?) We were growing, rising, laughing ever again We better than me Us better than me Stay together, let it Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We better than me Us better than me Stand together, let it Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We better than me... We better than me... We better than me...
