It's Better This Way
Embracing Fate: It's Better This Way by Clark Datchler
Lyrics
Answers can come too late
Realizations or solutions may arrive too late.
And time is not one to wait
Time does not wait for anyone.
I no longer believe
The speaker has lost faith or trust in something.
Feelings of deep despair
Experiencing intense sadness or hopelessness.
I tell myself I don't care
The speaker tries to convince themselves that they don't care.
It wasn't meant to be
A relationship or situation wasn't meant to happen.
Maybe It's Better This Way
Expressing the possibility that the current situation is better.
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Suggesting that the current state is an improvement over past games or challenges.
Maybe It's Better This Way
Reiterating the idea that the current situation may be preferable.
Won't give in to fear of falling
Determined not to succumb to the fear of failure or disappointment.
When I hear tomorrow calling
Facing the future with resolve and readiness.
(FFS version:
Alternate version (FFS): Abandoning a damaged or ruined situation, seeking a new challenge.
Leave behind this ruined valley
Continuation of the alternate version, leaving behind a difficult situation.
Find another cross to carry)
Seeking a new burden or challenge to carry.
If I should feel the need
If the need arises, the speaker acknowledges that their heart will suffer.
You know that my heart must bleed
Expressing a commitment not to make a particular call.
I will not touch that phone
Contemplating mourning a loss but acknowledging the eventual hardening of emotions.
And maybe I'll mourn my loss
After the caring or grieving process, feelings become unresponsive.
But after the caring stops
Desire turns to stone
Restating the possibility that the current situation is an improvement.
Maybe It's Better This Way
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
-Maybe It's Better This Way
-Won't give in to fear of falling
-When I hear tomorrow calling
-Pride has taken hold of me
Feeling a sense of pride and a need to overcome indifference or lack of interest.
I must escape this apathy
Determined to break free from a state of apathy.
And should I wake to deep regret
If faced with deep regret upon waking, the speaker is willing to endure the consequences alone.
I'll suffer cause I stand alone
Willing to suffer the consequences of standing alone and facing regret.
And if there was any doubt
If there was any doubt about the chosen path, the speaker affirms a commitment not to let go.
That this was the one way out
Reiterating that the current path is the only way out of a difficult situation.
I'd never let you go
The speaker would never release someone in doubt.
Maybe It's Better This Way
Restating the possibility that the current situation is an improvement.
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Reaffirming the idea that the current state may be better than past experiences.
Maybe It's Better This Way
Won't give in to fear of falling
-When I hear tomorrow calling
