"BETTER"
©1997 words & music EVERBLUE MUSIC CO. & ESOTAËRIC MUSIC

"I was asked to write a song where the scenario was a couple whose marriage was hanging in a delicate balance. While working on the lyrics I realized they were paralleling a rather heated relationship I was in at the time,
that was coming to a rather passionate end. There's nothing like inspiration..."




I CAN'T REALY DO MUCH, ANOTHER VICTIM OF TIME
TOO MANY PRAYERS LEFT UNANSWERED, IN THIS SOUL OF MINE.
REMEMBERING THE GOOD THINGS, JUST CLOUDS MY MIND
BELIEVING IN FAIRY TALES TOO LONG, TO REMEMBER WHY.

THERE'S A SILENCE HERE IN YOUR EYES
WHERE THERE USED TO BE FIRE...

chorus...
& IT'S FAR TOO LATE TO SEE, WHAT THIS LOVE ONCE USED TO MEAN.
& IT'S FAR TOO LATE TO CRY, WHAT WE ONCE HELD DEEP INSIDE.
& IT'S FAR TOO LATE TO SEE...

WOULD IT BE BETTER, IF WE NEVER TRIED.
WOULD IT BE BETTER, JUST TO SAY GOOD-BYE...


SO WHO ARE WE FOOLING, IN EACH OTHERS ARMS
WE BELIEVED IN TOMORROW, NEVER WHAT WENT WRONG.
DO WE BEG FOR FORGIVENESS, OR JUST BREAK DOWN & CRY
THE FLESH IS STILL WILLING, BUT THE SPIRIT IS TIRED.

YOU SAY THAT WE HAVE DIFFERENT MINDS
DON'T WE ALL YOU'LL FIND...

(chorus)

LOVE CAN GIVE US MANY VIRTUES
OR JUST BLIND US WITH DESIRES.
IT CAN BLESS & IT CAN CURSE YOU
THE CRUELEST ALWAYS SEEM SO KIND...
