Well I've not long to go but I'm trying to find out the meaning Of a life that's so grey and its desperate attempt at believing
Oh it's better me than you, well who takes on the world Yeah it's better me than you, well who takes on the world
Drank Away half my life, now I'm out of your sight You promised to heal all my pain I'll take back all the years, all the heartache and fears But I don't think you'll do it again, 'cause I'd let you down It's a sign of the times
I sit on me own every day,every night through to mornin' With the thoughts in me head, many memories fade without warning I recall we were there in that corner, the laughter was beaming Now the echoes remain and this man who's forgotten he's dreaming
Oh it's better me than you, well who takes on the world Yeah it's better me than you, well who takes on the world
Drank Away half my life, now I'm out of your sight You promised to heal all my pain I'll take back all the years, all the heartache and fears But I don't think you'll do it again, 'cause I'd let you down It's a sign of the times
Won't you sing to me dear, won't you sing me your song Ah please sing to me dear, so I know you're not gone
Oh it's better me than you, well who takes on the world Yeah it's better me than you, well who takes on the world
Drank Away half my life, now I'm out of your sight You promised to heal all my pain I'll take back all the years, all the heartache and fears But I don't think you'll do it again, 'cause I'd let you down It's a sign of the times [x2]
