I know we said we'd wait here
But it all became too much
How could we be so mistaken
To let it get this far
And just give up

Some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

I know we said we'd wait here
But we failed to stay
How could we be so mistaken
To let it get this far
And just give up

This is tearing me apart
But I pull these strings tighter
To hold myself together
To keep from falling apart

But some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

I feel your tears on my collarbone
They're making me feel so alone
I'm removed from everything
But your touch is too much
And I can't bear to leave

But some things are better
Left finished
Or so we say

This hasn't settled
These dreams will never fade
I'm a better man today
But that doesn't make up for yesterday

So here I am now
So much has changed
And everything's the same

But some things are better
Left finished
