A Better Place Lyrics by Silverstein

This Is How the Wind Shifts

2013

[Verse 1]
She said she'd never believed in the idea of fate
No love at first sight stories, I wasn't her soul mate
When she collapsed, I thought she was joking
But she didn't get up again, she didn't get up again

[Pre-Chorus]
A thousand flowers, a hundred cards to say...
She's in a better place, she's in a better place

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 into the old train station
And danced away the night until the cops chased us away

[Pre-Chorus]
It breaks my heart to think she's in a better place

[Chorus]
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

[Hook]
You can't let go
Just face it
Just face it

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Hook]
You can't let... go
Just face it
Just face it

[Outro]
If I could, I'd trade with you
If I could, I would
