Brill Street Collective - Better Life Lyrics

This is not the end
There are no goodbyes
Just 'cause there's a new beginning
But I will not pretend
I cannot disguise
The pain I'm feelin'
The pain I'm feelin'

I know you look out the window
Watchin' the leaves in the wind blow
Dreamin' you could reach for a better life
I know that you're getting' older
Time's short on life's roller coaster
You need to reach for a better life

I'm not what you need
You're dyin' on the vine
I can't let you fade to darkness
Your power's in your dreams
But they were never mine
Holdin' on is heartless
I could never be that heartless

I know you look out the window
Watchin' the leaves in the wind blow
Dreamin' you could reach for a better life
I know that you're getting' older
Time's short on life's roller coaster
You need to reach for a better life

Try not to think
'Bout leavin' me
When you are gaining everything
This ship has sailed
It's swim or sink
So save yourself
And let me be

I know you look out the window
Watchin' the leaves in the wind blow

Dreamin' you could reach for a better life
I know that you're getting' older
Time's short on life's roller coaster
You need to reach for a better life

I know you look out the window
Watchin' the leaves in the wind blow
Dreamin' you could reach for a better life
I know that you're getting' older
Time's short on life's roller coaster
You need to reach for a better life
