Well if it's better that way You'd be the first to say so Maybe I wasn't so sure But it doesn't matter who shot first It's not about what anyone deserves
If you should ever feel bad Consider it a study In just how far it is Between a hand you touch and an arm you twist It's not about what was attached to it
And when you start to tire You will look for something To fill some empty space Just 'til you empty it again
It's a dirty trick It's a cold advantage But I wouldn't mind To be the steady hand that cuts the line It's not about recovering lost pride
If it's better that way Why would I not just do that But I prefer to keep Every mistake I won't admit Keep it alive but keep it hid With bullets that I never bit Until I make them all again
Lay it down, wait it out, I'll be around Lay it down, you need a quick way out, I'll be around Lay it down, wait it out, I'll be around
I f it's better that way Why would I not just do that To know that living is Hearing every beat your heart don't skip Every end you don't begin Every sin you need not forgive And every space you don't fill in
