Tune Tuesday: “Better Than I Know Myself” by Adam Lambert

Every Tuesday here at The Mortal Instruments Source is Tune Tuesday,  where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments or The Infernal Devices. This week’s Tune Tuesday was inspired by Jace and Clary's turbulent relationship. Thanks to reader Elize for the suggestion!

“Better Than I Know Myself” by Adam Lambert

These are the lyrics of the song that really stuck out:
I know it gets hard sometimes But I could never Leave your side No matter what I say Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now, But I really need you near me to Keep my mind off the edge If I wanted to leave I would have left by now, But you're the only one that knows me Better than I know myself I get kind of dark Let it go too far I can be obnoxious at times But try and see my heart Cause I need you need now So don't let me down You're the only thing in this world I would die without
Lyrics: “Better Than I Know Myself” by Adam Lambert

Cold as ice
And more bitter than a December
Winter night
That’s how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to lose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that’s the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now,
But you’re the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

All along
I tried to pretend it didn’t matter
If I was alone
But deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn’t know which way to turn
Cause I’m lost without you.

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now,
But you’re the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you need now
So don’t let me down
You’re the only thing in this world I would die without

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you’re the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now,
But you’re the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

  1. I think, Adam Lambert, would be a great Magnus Bane. Magnus Bane is what eight hundred years old..I think experience would make him appear older. Adam has a natural spark and he is already very sexy. He already has the Magnus Bane style. Of course, he would need to have Magnus’ sarcastic wit and rough sweet side. I have the feeling, Adam Lambert can pull it off.

  2. I agree Adam Lambert would make a great Magnus Bane and could pull it off without breaking sweat! He is sexy and just have that something (X Factor) that each time I see his video’s or life performance I see Magnus.

    i agree with you guys when i look at him you can easily see magnus, he just has that look you know and i loved the song i totally think it just says the life story of clary and jace’s relationship

  4. I must say that this made me somehow think more of Alec and Magnus, than of Clary and Jace, but well.. That’s just my opinion. 🙂 It’s an awesome song, and I agree with you guys, he could really pull Magnus off well. He’s not my total favourite(Jayy von Monroe for example…), but extremely close to what I imagined!

  5. This song is great for both Jace/Clary and Will/Tessa. 😀

  6. I really hope adam is apart of TMI in some way.. soundtrack..M.B… idc just hope is in there some were 🙂

  7. I saw this song and immediately thought of Alec and Magnus (watch the video, the resemblance is scary) and it’s like Alec’s singing it to Magnus at the end of CoLS
