It’s Better This Way
Once we were lovers in letters
From New York to LA
Saying we’d be together
Forever one day
But as the years went by
You said, “Life goes on"
We once bathed in moonlight
You said, "Baby, please don’t cry"
It’s better this way
There’s a quiet pulse between us
That’s never gone away
Over lifetimes and distance
Underneath my love remains
I remember our first night
Things like that don't fade away
I remember our last fight
Like it was yesterday
It’s better this way
Now we live on the same street
God moves in mystery
He took away my lover
Gave my friend back to me
I’ll sacrifice desire
If that’s the price to pay
As long as we’re together
Then I say it's better this way
But she say hush, hush and kiss me
She say hush it's better this way
I say hush, hush and hold me
I say hush it's better this way
It’s better this way
