Better By Far
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.
It's better by far
To turn and go your way with him
Stay with him and let him know the things
That I can never know the way things are
Oo wo oh oh
I said it's better by far
To tell myself it's been worthwhile
To try to smile and let him turn the key
To lock away this aching heart
Better by far to end this way
Got in a pain with no regret
Better by far to end it now
Forget somehow we never ever met
But things are the way they are
It's better by far
Try as I may
To make believe my heart was young
The pain grows on and as we say goodbye
I hold my head up high until you're gone
Better by far to end it now
Forget somehow we ever met
Better by far to stop and say
Got in a pain with no regret
While things are the way they are
It's better by far
Better by far to end this way
Forget the day with no regrets
Better by far to stop and say
Got in a pain we've never met
While things are the way they are
It's better by far
