Lyrics A Better Place - Silverstein

A Better Place

She said she never believed
In the idea of fate
No love at first site stories
I wasn’t her soul mate
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 tried with you
If I could, I would!
