Lyrics
Better
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 know we can't mend it
I know
That if we pretended, isn't there it's still sure
Well time's not alotted in equal amounts to me and you
So we (?) each other
There's something we can do
We can weep together
Feel our need together
But if we try to heal each other
We both know that it won't work
But if we weep together
We might feel better
Well people tell you, you should move on
But how can you live again until your pain is gone?
Too many times you've hurt
But time will heal the wounds
No one's prepared to say just how soon
While we're here together
Can shed some tears together
But if we cried beside each other
I don't mean that we won't hurt
But if we weep together
We might feel better
