    Lyrics:
    I will always know better
    So I really don’t see
    A problem with knowing the answer
    In the absence of those who agree
    I’ve got access to information
    That’s very hard to find
    So you must forgive me
    For taking up your time
    You see I’ve done my research
    A lesson should be taught
    So when you tell me why you’re right
    I’ll show you how you’re not
    I’ll engage you
    And persuade you
    Help you make up your mind
    I implore you
    I adore you
    I would never lead you blind
    To let you go on
    Knowing you’re wrong
    Would be worse than unkind
    Cuz in time
    You will find
    I know better
    I’ve got references and contacts
    A reputation to uphold
    I’ve been accused of more than a few of my tactics being cold
    But none of that should really matter
    Clearly you could use my help
    I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again
    My record speaks for itself
    I won’t let ‘em do to you
    The things they did to me
    Yeah they’ll plant it right inside your brain
    Like a digital disease
    I just want you to hear me out
    And then I’m sure you’ll agree
    This is what they don’t want you to see

      @@DarthSiGi I don't think so. It's not the first song with Kyle's vocals and actually it's not about voice at all but the melody, the style.
      Yeah, it might be because Kyle wrote it and it shows how he's changed, grown up and how he feels now. I think there is more Kyle in this song than Matchbox Twenty. I guess he didn't have so much freedom to express himself in the band before. And I'm glad they gave him this chance now and put this song (so much his song) in the tracklist.

    Wow! This is a masterpiece in every way. . . Harpsichord-like intro is lovely and delicate in contrast to the rather intense, pushy message of I Know Better . . . but I admit, he had me persuaded after the second verse that he truly adored his lover and that he was going to stand by her and protect her from harm. He had been there before, himself, and HE KNEW BETTER. It would be UNKIND to know better and not do something about it. So a chivalrous hero !! . . I would welcome that and be so grateful. Different tune for Matchbox 20, but different in all the right ways!
