It's better this way As it always was With your arms around me Is it what you want? So you tell yourself For the second time With your arms around But you're letting go Although it breaks my heart Don't wanna make it stop You're gonna string me along And tell me I was wrong So I laugh now, cry later So I laugh now, cry later It's better this way When it's you and I With your arms around me And we're in my room So you tell yourself For the second time With your arms around me It's better this way Although it breaks my heart Don't wanna make it stop You're gonna string me along And tell me I was wrong So I laugh now, cry later So I laugh now, cry later It's better this way When it's you and I With your arms around me And we're in my room So you tell yourself For the second time With your arms around me It's better this way Although it breaks my heart Don't wanna make it stop You're gonna string me along And tell me I was wrong So I laugh now, cry later So I laugh now, cry later
