Better Lyrics by ​The Basics

Ingredients

2007

[Verse 1]
I know we can't mend it, I know
But if we pretend it isn't there, would it still show?
Well, time's not allotted in equal amounts to me and you
So we can't hear each other, there's something we can do

[Chorus]
We can weep together
Feel our need together
But if we try to heal each other
We both know that it won't work
But if we weep together
We might feel better

[Verse 2]
Well, people will tell you you should move on
But how can you live again until your pain is gone?
And too many times, you've heard that time will heal all wounds
Yeah, but no one's prepared to say just how soon

[Chorus]
While we're here together
Can shed some tears together
But if we cried beside each other
That don't mean that we won't hurt
But if we weep together
We might feel better

[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-yeah)
(Get on up, up, up)
(Ooh, ooh)
