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.
She said she never believed in the idea of fate
No love at first sight stories, I wasn't her soulmate
When she collapsed (when she collapsed) I thought she was joking
But she didn't get up again, she didn't get up again
A thousand flowers, a hundred cards to say
She's in a better place, she's in a better place
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
I can't be spoken for anymore
Just face it, just face it, you're on your own
I gave up everything I know
It carries on, it never stops
How could I go on without, how could I go on without
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
You can't let go
She always said I was way too safe and I never could have fun
I had to make some mistakes and get into trouble while I'm young
So we broke in (so we broke in) to the old train station
And danced away the night until the cops chased us away
It breaks my heart to think she's in a better place
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
I can't be spoken for anymore
Just face it, just face it, you're on your own
I gave up everything I know
It carries on, it never stops
How could I go on without, how could I go on without
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
You can't let go
You can't let go
Just face it, just face it
One day, I took off my ring to see if the memory would start to fade
The time I spent away, I wasted all those days
She's in a better place, she's in a better place
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
I can't be spoken for anymore
Just face it, just face it, you're on your own
I gave up everything I know
It carries on, it never stops
How could I go on without, how could I go on without
Just face it, just face it, you can't let go
You can't let go
You can't let... Go!
Just face it, just face it
If I could, I'd shine with you
If I could, I would
