a better place

Silverstein

She said she never believed in the idea of faith
No love at first sight stories, I wasn't her soulmate
When she collapsed, I thought she was choking
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 listen, just listen, you can't let go
(I can't be spoken for anymore)
Just listen, just listen, you're on your own
(I gave up everything I know)
It carries on, it never stops
(How could I go on with that, how could I go on with that)
Just listen, just listen, 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 few mistakes and get into trouble while I'm young
So we broke in to the old train station
And dance away the night until the cops send us away
It breaks my heart to think she's in a better place

Just listen, just listen, you can't let go
(I can't be spoken for anymore)
Just listen, just listen, you're on your own
(I gave up everything I know)
It carries on, it never stops
(How could I go on with that, how could I go on with that)
Just listen, just listen, you can't let go
You can't let go

You can't let go
Just face it, just face it

One day, I'll take off my ring to see if the memory will start to fade
The time I spent away I wish that all those days
She's in a better place, she's in a better place

Just listen, just listen, you can't let go
(I can't be spoken for anymore)
Just listen, just listen, you're on your own
(I gave up everything I know)
It carries on, it never stops
(How could I go on with that, how could I go on with that)
Just listen, just listen, you can't let go
You can't let go

You can't let go
Just face it, just face it
If I could bright shine with you
If I could, I would
