Lyrics

So you're lonely and you need a friend
And you thought you'd run back to me
Can't deny it, you're still beautiful
But this show is over so I'm telling you to go
My darling
Think of all those kitchen mornings now
And fruit both overripe and green
Like old snapshots fading in and out
The days all were in a hundred blurs of colors, sounds, and arms
Reaching
Oh, maybe dreams aren't good enough
And oh, but just to leave would be so much
Better (better)
Better for you
Better (better)
Better for me
I thought I understood the way it works
Like physics and astronomy
But desire never fits a formula
And all the light I see tonight falls randomly and tells
Me nothing
Oh, maybe dreams aren't good enough
Oh, but just to leave would be so much
Better (better)
Better for you
Better (better)
Better for me
When you get lonely you can't come to me
You had your chance now please just leave
And me I'll brace myself for another try
I might be free but I know I'll be deader than alive
Tomorrow
Oh, maybe dreams aren't good enough
And oh, but just to breathe would be so much
Better (better)
Better for you
Better (better)
Better for me
Better (better)
Better for you
Better (better)
Better for me
