A Better Place

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wish we could live forever

but everyone dies

everyone laughs

and everyone cries

i'll be mad but im glad

you were part of my life

make sure you stop by my dreams

when im sleepin' at night

now a piece of my heart

is lookin' down from the sky

like an angel on my shoulder

helpin' me to get by

and all the words that you told me

were the words of the wise

to navigate my path

through the drama and lies

chorus:

I wont forget you

and i'll keep on loving you

buts its hard to live my life

when you are not around

I'll try and make it through

i know you want me to

but its hard to think of you

without me breakin' down

I know your in a better place

i know you finally feel the pain

i miss you my best friend

i'll never find someone like you again

i try to stay optimistic

but it hurts so bad

for me to lose the best friend

that i probably ever had

now every day that i wake

i see how precious life is

maybe someday you'll come back

as one of my kids

Its crazy things change

how hard life can be

i remember we were young

everything seemed so easy

i had you by my side

and i thought you'd never leave me

and even though your gone

you still never will believe me

chorus

were born to live

and we live to die

walk on the ground

and soar through the sky

and were born to live

and we dont ask why

transend and reside

when stone angels cry

were born to live

and we live to die

walk on the ground

and soar through the sky

and were born to live

and we dont ask why

transend and reside

when stone angels cry

chorus

(were born to live and we live to die)

I know your in a better place

(were born to live and we dont ask why)

I know you finally feel the pain

(were born to live and we live to die)

I miss you my best friend

(were born to live and we dont ask why)

i'll never find someone like you again
