It is better.

It is better to be bitter

It is better to be hard

It is better to live bitter

It is better with no heart

Life is better here my darling

On the opposing side to love

It is better to be bitter

To beat sweetness with a club

 

It is better to be heartless

It is better to be rough

It is better to be freezing

To the words,

The eyes,

The touch

 

It is better here my darling

On the opposing side to faith

There is no one here to judge you

There is no need to hide your face

 

It is better here my darling

On the opposing side to love

It is better to be bitter

Than to be worth thinking of
