A Better Place

She said she never believed In the idea of fate No love at first sight stories, I wasn't her soulmate When she collapsed (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 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'd shine with you If I could, I would --- A Better Place - Silverstein
