I don't think it's 'you heal the scars' that doesnt make sense or fit in with the lyrics....

I think it might be "we've" but even with headphones cranked I can't make out the word. ?It could be I've or I, but I'm pretty sure it's not you...

And to the guy who posted the original lyrics - no need to get snarky, if you read my post I didn't bash you or your interpertation of the lyrics - just the several people who posted after you...

I think this is it...

Guns N' Roses - Better

(Intro)
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 never
yet been through now.
We've healed the scars that got their start (this sounds like something else)
inside someone like you now.

Well had I known or I'd been shown
back when how long it'd take me.
To break the charge that brought me home
and all that won't erase me.

I never would know that 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 baby...

...all that I wanted was...

Now I know you better,
You know I'd... (I don't think there's another "know" here, too many...)

I think you may be right with "back when how long it'd take me." And as far as the end, at the very, very end, I hear a 'n/kn', so I guess I used creative licenses...

I understand that, but then there would be too many "know"s there, and I don't Axl would ever do that ...

This is what I have for the 2:06 "Better"
Edit: added "spark" line
Edit 2:  Added some changes from SOH
 
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

You'd heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Oh had I known
Or I'd been shown
Back when how long it'd take me

To break the charge
That brought me home
(And all but (that?) would erase me)

I never would
Know that 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
Never love you better

So bitersweet this tragedy
Won't ask for absolution

This melody, inside of me
Still searches for solution

A twist a fate, a change of heart
Kills my infatuation

A broken heart to provide 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
