Well if it's better that way
You'd be the first to say so
Maybe I wasn't so sure
But it doesn't matter who shot first
It's not about what anyone deserves

If you should ever feel bad
Consider it a study
In just how far it is
Between a hand you touch and an arm you twist
It's not about what was attached to it

And when you start to tire
You will look for something
To fill some empty space
Just 'til you empty it again

It's a dirty trick
It's a cold advantage
But I wouldn't mind
To be the steady hand that cuts the line
It's not about recovering lost pride

If it's better that way
Why would I not just do that
But I prefer to keep
Every mistake I won't admit
Keep it alive but keep it hid
With bullets that I never bit
Until I make them all again

Lay it down, wait it out, I'll be around
Lay it down, you need a quick way out, I'll be around
Lay it down, wait it out, I'll be around

I f it's better that way
Why would I not just do that
To know that living is
Hearing every beat your heart don't skip
Every end you don't begin
Every sin you need not forgive
And every space you don't fill in
