Better This Way
Cherri Bomb Lyrics

I’ll admit I miss your face
Acknowledging that I miss seeing you.

But it’s better this way, better this way
Despite my feelings, it's ultimately better that things are the way they are.

Everything’s sacred, nothing’s wasted
All experiences are valuable and worth cherishing, even when they're painful.

Stick together, fall apart
Relationships can be precarious and unstable, even when people try to stick together.

And love and pain it’s all an art
Experiencing love and pain is a complex and nuanced experience, similar to the creative process of making art.

Smash the mould and start again
Take risks and try something new instead of sticking to the same old patterns.

Without the crime and thicker skin
Find a new way of being that is less harmful or destructive, but also more resilient and able to withstand challenges.

(I wanna go, go. And then I don’t, don’t. But now I know. No, now I know)
I have conflicting feelings about what I want, but over time I am gaining clarity and perspective.

Don’t follow me, you’re on your own
I'm not leading anyone else, and they should make their own choices and pursue their own paths.

No company, you’re all alone
It's lonely to be without companionship, even when making important choices and pursuing what is meaningful.

Burning all the misery
Let go of painful experiences and try to move on from them.

Waking up to kill the dream
Overcoming illusions or fantasies and confronting reality, even if it's painful or disappointing.

I’ll take the blame for the pain in your eyes
I'm willing to accept responsibility for things that have hurt you, even if it's painful for me.

This is your last look, your final goodbye
This is the end of our relationship or connection, even though it may be bittersweet or difficult.

It’s better, it’s better
Ultimately, it is better that things are the way they are, even if it's difficult to accept or understand at times.
