It's Better This Way

Answers can come too late
And time is not one to wait
I no longer believe
Feelings of deep despair
I tell myself I don't care
It wasn't meant to be

Maybe it's better this way
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Maybe it's better this way
Leave behind this ruined valley
Find another cross to carry

If I should feel the need
You know that my heart must bleed
I will not touch that phone
And maybe I'll mourn my loss
But after the caring stops
Desire turns to stone

Maybe it's better this way
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Maybe it's better this way
Leave behind this ruined valley
Find another cross to carry

Pride has taken hold of me
I must escape this apathy
And should I wake to deep regret
I'll suffer 'cause I stand alone

And if there was any doubt
That this was the one way out
I'd never let you go

Maybe it's better this way
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Maybe it's better this way
Leave behind this ruined valley
Find another cross to carry

Tomorrow's calling
Tomorrow's calling
My fear of falling
I won't be afraid
Tomorrow's calling...
