Better Broken

Maybe if I catch my breath
Maybe if I wait a little
I’d remember how it hurts and stop before I fall
I’d forget to come apart
I’d catch myself and hold on tightly
Let memory wash over me, forgive but don’t forget

So you come back to me begging
Why’d you leave? Tell me why, how you could you let this go?
Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken

Illusions come the venom stings
Swirling visions, soft and perfect
They blur all the edges ‘til everything looks fine
So I’ll pretend I didn’t cry and you pretend that you’re my savior
We both remember what we want to get us through the night

So don’t come back to me begging
Why’d you leave? Tell me why, how could you let this go?
Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken

Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
